1. Do Not Engage.

​​​​​​​Do not reply to the message, call the number, download content, or click on links.

2. Report Suspicious Messages.

Forward phishing emails to the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) at report@phishing.gov.uk.

Forward phishing texts to 7726 (SPAM). Your mobile carrier will investigate.

Contact the organisation that appears to be impersonated, if applicable, and report the phishing attempt.

Report phishing to Action Fraud, the UK’s national reporting center for fraud and cybercrime, via their website or by calling 0300 123 2040.
