Just Eat gift card phishing email

A fake email purporting to be from Just Eat is doing the rounds, tempting recipients to claim a £50 gift card they have been ‘chosen’ to receive.

Clicking the link will take you through to a phishing website, which attempts to steal your personal info. Many of us are using takeaway delivery services so it’s worth being cautious about such communications.

• NEVER open attachments or links in unsolicited emails

• NEVER give out personal information

• DELETE spam emails from your mailbox

Scammers want your name, date of birth & current or previous address to commit identity theft.

With it they can:

• Open bank accounts

• Obtain credit cards/loans & benefits

• Order goods / mobile phone contracts

• Take over existing accounts

• Obtain a passport & driving license
