At last night’s parish council meeting, parish councillor Graham Redman drew my attention to this piece of news, about a reported fraudulent email claiming to come from Anglia Revenues Partnership.

Anglia Revenues Partnership collects council tax and other monies from residents in East Cambridgeshire on behalf of the district council.

The advice from the council is very sensible.  Treat any email, however official looking, that asks for any personal information with deep suspicion.  The council (and Anglia Revenues Partnership) will never ask you to supply personal data by email.
