Warning over Revenue Service scam emails

The government said it has been made aware of some people receiving scam emails falsely claiming to be from the Revenue Service

The States of Guernsey has warned residents to be alert to scam emails after some were received claiming to be from the Revenue Service.

The government said it was made aware of emails purporting to be from the Revenue Service over the weekend.

It said the emails were sent from cwgsy.net or suremail.gg accounts and not from the Revenue Service's official [e-mail] email address.

It advised people to check the address, not to open any links or attachments on the emails and to contact their bank's fraud team if they have already engaged with the sender.
