Which? magazine reports that fraudsters are impersonating Dorset Council in an email phishing scam. The scam emails, which were predominantly sent out on Friday, 24th June, tempt you to click on a link and attachment by labelling it as an invoice to your account.

The emails come from legitimate Dorset Council email addresses that have been spoofed by scammers. Find out more about the email HERE and please share with friends and family who live in the local area.
