WARNING:Police have warned about CEO scams
Cumbria Police has warned Cumbrians to watch out for an email scam.
The force said the public should ‘watch out’ for ‘CEO scams’, which according to police is when a scammer impersonates a person’s manager in an email involving payment details.
A spokesman from Cumbria Police said: “Watch out for CEO scams in your inbox.
“They take place when a criminal impersonates your boss or a senior manager to either make an urgent payment or change payment details for a contract or supplier.”
