How to Deal with Scam Emails

Please be on the lookout for another scam email, this time pretending to be from your HR department.

It looks to be from your HR department and encourages you to click a the link to retrieve your new employee benefits.

Whilst most people are used to spotting a scam email where it tells you that you account has been compromised or your subscription is going to expire. This one is more sophisticated in that it is directly targeting employees with supposed benefits and it is designed to look like it comes from the HR department.

Please do not click on the links and always be careful if you receive any type of email that is unexpected and it asks to click, or install or open something.

The scam email will be similar to below:
