It's the term used to described fake emails that try to persuade you to send cash to Nigeria, to log on to fake banking sites or otherwise to disclose your personal details to people who are not entitled to have them. I received a convincing email recently which looked as if it was from Virginmedia; it asked me to re-verify all my personal details including even my passport details and to send a photo of both sides of my credit card, but fortunately I spotted it was fake.
There are plenty of online criminals out there trying their luck during the lockdown and I'm delighted that the Government has introduced a National anit-phishing email service. Further details are shown on the attached document, so PLEASE read and take note.
