We have been made aware of a group of overseas individuals who have set up a number of mimic websites, mostly with “app” somewhere in the domain. These include logos and other assets stolen from our website. The appropriate UK authorities have been notified to take the websites down, and at the time of writing this article, they seem to have been successful.
If you have been the target of a fraud or would like to learn more about the types of scams going on, the Metropolitan Police website contains a wealth of information, or if scams come through via email, you could try doing what we did and simply forward them to report@phishing.gov.uk – a really quick and effective way to help the UK government track and prevent the activities of online criminals.
