Cybercrime and scams
Cybercrime is on the increase, so it’s important to be vigilant and look out for anything suspicious. A scam is a type of fraud that criminals use to trick you into giving them money and personal details. Fraudsters often use the names of lawyers, barristers and law firms to make themselves appear genuine and increase their chances of tricking victims into sending money to them.
Scams can take the form of emails, text messages, telephone calls or direct mail which can seem legitimate and very convincing. It is important to be vigilant and carefully verify any unusual requests or suspicious communications purporting to come from the firm.
Be particularly careful if someone is asking you to send sensitive personal information or money, or purports to notify you of changes to important business information by email.
If you receive unusual communications purporting to be from Whytecroft Ford Ltd or any of our lawyers or employees about which you are uncertain or suspicious, please contact us immediately. You can email [email protected] or email the complaint manager directly at [email protected].
If you have been a victim of a scam, we would encourage you to report this to the police via https://www.actionfraud.police.uk/. We will not be able to assist you to recover any money that you have lost and we will not be responsible for any losses resulting out of scam communications, but we will take this matter seriously. We will report all incidents of scams and identity fraud to the police and our regulators.
