New "Notice Of Prosecution" scam targets small businesses in UK

FOLLOWING on from the recent 'Greater Manchester Police Notice Of Prosecution' email we reported last week, a new scam is active. This is targeting small businesses and if you click on the notice it delivers malware.

This spoofing email is headed:- 'The UK Government Insolvency Service.' It is pretending to be a Company Investigations Inquiry Reminder and says:- "We have received an accusation about your company which indicates corporate exploitation." It goes on to say a "court to wind up the company and stop it trading." should you not respond.

If you get this email, do not click on it! Report to and report it to us via going to:- ReportLite.ActionFraud.Police.UK and also please forward the email on to:- NFIBPhishing@City-Of-London.PNN.Police.UK, as well as Phishing@CompaniesHouse.Gov.UK.
