Consumers are being asked to be extra vigilant against text and email messages from a fake UPS site that\u2019s attempting to harvest personal and financial information in the scam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The email claims to come from international carriers UPS which states there is a parcel waiting for you at the Post Office, but the address is incorrect. They ask that the recipient click on a link to correct their address details and pay a \u00a32 \u201cfee\u201d for another delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you do receive one of these emails or a text you can report it for free. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to report@phishing.gov.uk<\/a>. The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) will then investigate. For text messages, forward these to 7726. Then block the number and delete the message immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The NEBRC was set up as part of a national network to protect businesses across the region from cyber crime. We work with a team of cyber specialists and ethical hackers to provide vulnerability assessments, security awareness training, and other key services to educate and support organisations on cyber security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For further information\u00a0contact us at:\u00a0enquiries@nebrcentre.co.uk<\/a> or sign up to our free core membership <\/a>to keep up to date with the latest cyber security matters and keep your business safe online.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Consumers are being asked to be extra vigilant against text and email messages from a fake UPS site that\u2019s attempting to harvest personal and financial…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1947,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1946","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/crcnetwork-cfkr6.projectbeta.co.uk\/northeastcrc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1946","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/crcnetwork-cfkr6.projectbeta.co.uk\/northeastcrc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/crcnetwork-cfkr6.projectbeta.co.uk\/northeastcrc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crcnetwork-cfkr6.projectbeta.co.uk\/northeastcrc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crcnetwork-cfkr6.projectbeta.co.uk\/northeastcrc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1946"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/crcnetwork-cfkr6.projectbeta.co.uk\/northeastcrc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1946\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crcnetwork-cfkr6.projectbeta.co.uk\/northeastcrc\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/crcnetwork-cfkr6.projectbeta.co.uk\/northeastcrc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1946"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crcnetwork-cfkr6.projectbeta.co.uk\/northeastcrc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1946"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crcnetwork-cfkr6.projectbeta.co.uk\/northeastcrc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1946"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
