Fraudulent payment requestsSome parishes have been targeted by email requests for fraudulent payments. Please be aware that these attacks are becoming more sophisticated – the fraudster may send the email in the name of a member of the PCC or clergy and may appear to know details of your parish and PCC. The Take Five – Stop Fraud campaign encourages us all to stop and think before responding to fraudsters. If you do receive a fraudulent email or phone call, please report this to Action Fraud – the UK’s national reporting centre for fraud and cyber crime. If you receive an unsolicited notification of a change in diocesan bank details, please contact us by phone on 01865 208 206 to verify these are genuine before making any payments. |
