Unfortunately, we have received reports that someone is fraudulently impersonating one of our team and is messaging people via WhatsApp whilst pretending to represent us.
This is obviously devasting news as we have spent many years building our reputation. The Consultant who has been impersonated has spent years working her way up from Trainee to Senior Consultant and it very upsetting to think her reputation is being misused this way.
We are reaching out to our network to support us in trying to put an end to this. Thankfully, we have been sent some examples of the communication and quickly identified that this is a phishing attack. With this, we can provide you with some guidance as to the tell-tale signs of this phishing attempt:
If you have received a message like the above, then please report it to the platform from which you received the message immediately.
We have reported this incident to ActionFraud and will be working with the authorities to stop this misrepresentation as quickly as possible. Please note you can also report this to Action Fraud.
If you have any concerns at all please contact our offices and ask for the General Manager, Lauren Tuthill on 01895 520 700
