Cumbria
Trading Standards are warning residents of a new email scam. It purports
to be from Europcar and claims that there is an outstanding invoice that has
not been paid. The advice is not to open the email but to delete it
immediately as it is linked to the Trojan Horse malware.
The consumer
had never hired a car from them and Europcar confirmed that it is a scam, when
he contacted them. Further details can be found at https://tinurl.com/abscuny
