A team of scambusters are warning residents in Gedling borough to watch out for fake emails informing people about an undelivered bank or credit card.
Action Fraud, the UK’s national reporting centre for fraud and cyber-crime, received 760 reports relating to fake emails about deliveries of bank cards.
The emails state that the recipient has a bank or credit card waiting to be delivered to them and provides an email address to contact and arrange delivery.
The contact information in the emails do not belong to legitimate banks or credit card providers.
A spokesperson for Action Fraud said: “If you have any doubts about a message, contact the organisation directly.
“Don’t use the numbers or address in the message, use the details from their official website.
“Your bank or any other official source will never ask you to supply personal information via email.”
If you have spotted a suspicious email, forward it to the suspicious email reporting service at report@phishing.gov.uk
