Ofcom text message scam
07 November 2012
Many people are getting text messages form a company pretending to be the communications regulator Ofcom asking for personal details.
It should go without saying that this is a scam. Organisations like Ofcom will never ask you to provide you personal details over the phone, via email or by text.
If you receive a message like this, make sure that you report it to Action Fraud by going to the Action Fraud website or calling 0300 123 2040. If you have been caught out by the scam and submitted your details, contact the Information Commissioners Office on 0303123 1113 or via the ICO website.
