Advisory – Fraudulent E-mail
The Bermuda Police Service Fraud Unit is aware of a fraudulent e-mail which is currently being circulated throughout the island. The alleged sender of the e-mail claims to be an insurance broker from London, U. K. who needs the recipient’s help to recover a large amount of money. Once again, the Fraud Unit is reminding the public that if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is! Furthermore, members of the public are urged not to give out their banking details or personal information to anyone they do not know, especially over the internet.
