Email Scam Warning

We are aware that several Norfolk schools are receiving a scam email that appears to be from the headteacher today (Thursday 05/12/2019). The email will appear as follows:

The From field and email Sign Off contains the name of the headteacher from the school, however, the email address is not their email address (see above). If you respond to this email a further email will then be received requesting an urgent CHAPS or Faster payment for a supplier.

These emails must not be replied to, and no payment should be made. If you receive this email please delete and ignore it.
