UK Gmail and Yahoo email 'alert' for thousands with diesel cars - check your inbox now Diesel car owners are being urged to stay alert after thousands have been targeted by fake 'emissions' emails claiming they are owed up to £16,000 in compensation.
'Scam alert, over 4,800 people have reported receiving FAKE emails claiming that diesel car users are eligible for thousands of pounds in compensation," Action Fraud said in a post of X (formerly Twitter ).
"The emails instruct recipients to share their personal information via links provided in the email, in order to check if they are eligible for the compensation," Action Fraud explained.
The worrying warning has just been issued by the team at Action Fraud with the UK security experts saying that those duped into clicking on links could end up giving hackers access to personal information including bank data.
Action Fraud says that anyone receiving these messages should find out which company has sent them and get in touch via their official website.
