The Government has alerted business owners and directors to a new scam email professing to be from Companies House. If you receive one of these emails, do not open it and report it to the relevant authority.<\/p>\n
According to the alert, the email is sent from the contact \u2018noreply@cpgov.uk\u2019 with the following message:<\/p>\n
\u201cCompany Complaint<\/em><\/p>\n This message has been generated in response to the company complaint submitted to Companies House.<\/em><\/p>\n (CC01) Company Complaint for the above company was accepted on 04\/24\/2018.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n The email will then ask you to open an attachment or log in to your account via a link. This will lead to a phishing site designed to steal your username and password, which fraudsters could use to carry out identity fraud.<\/p>\n The Government has asked any recipients of this email to forward them to phishing@companieshouse.gov.uk<\/a> as soon as possible and to not open any attachments.<\/p>\n
