Examples of threats the NCSC has removed with the help of the reporting service include:</p><p>- Scam web pages that have been flagged include mock-ups of official GOV.uk and TV licencing websites (visitors are lured into giving their billing information to scammers posing as these legitimate organisations).</p><p> </p><p>- Scam web pages purporting to sell coronavirus linked bogus products such as testing kits, face makes and even vaccines. (The NCSC noted a rise in cyber crime exploiting the coronavirus pandemic last month.)</p><p> </p><p>This automated email reporting service makes it easier than ever for people to help protect others from falling victim to scams. To use the reporting service, people are asked to simply forward suspect emails to <a href="mailto:report@phishing.gov.uk" target="_blank">report@phishing.gov.uk</a>. If they are found to link to malicious content, it will be taken down or blocked, helping prevent future victims of crime.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 29/05/2020 13:57:50 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

The Government has made additional funding available for local authorities through the Controlling Migration Fund.</p><p>We have committed to regularly review the rates and will work with the Local Government Association, the Association of Directors of Children’s Services and local authorities to ensure their views form part of that review.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 24/01/2017 15:04:33 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
