Look out for Coronavirus scams!
As many people are struggling and looking for extra support during this difficult time, some people are taking advantage of isolated and vulnerable people. Many scams are offering information or support in relation to coronavirus, often posing as the government or other organisations. Please make sure you and your loved ones don't fall victims, by looking out for scams.
