Pembrokeshire County Council is warning of fraudsters trying to take
advantage of the current coronavirus outbreak.
The Council has been made aware of an email scam being sent to
residents regarding free school meals during school closures.
The email states ‘as schools will be closing, if you’re entitled to free
school meals, please send your bank details and we’ll make sure
you’re supported.’
This email is fraudulent and should be deleted.
Residents should always be wary of sending any personal or bank
details in response to an unsolicited email.
For advice on scams please contact the Citizens Advice Consumer
Helpline on 03454 040506 / 03454 040505 (Welsh Speaker).
