WARNING – DO NOT GIVE ANYONE YOUR BANK DETAILS
Schools have reported parents are being targeted by fraudsters targeting families
Saying‘ If your child is entitled to free school meals send your bank details to the school and they will help with funding while the school is closed’.
The email contains links for the parents to follow if they want to receive this funding – these links are fake. This is a scam.
