Scammers are using the name Which? Magazine to make their scam messages about cyber currency investments seem genuine.
Which? Magazine are clear that they never send emails recommending people buy cybercurrency or any other ‘investment’.
Which? Magazine take these criminal activities very seriously and do everything they can to stop the criminals using the name Which? but it’s difficult to stop them all.
The scam messages typically also include the Which magazine logo and copyright message.
The fake messages use email addresses that are obviously not Which? magazine.
Typically they claim to be advertising ‘Which? Recommended Bonds’ and state that these have ‘been closely vetted by a member of our team’ , then there’s a link to click to see the rates on offer. The link is to a fake website made to look like Which? magazine, but it sends your details to the scammer and there are no bonds etc.
It also states that Which? Bond Rates is an Introducer Appointed Representative of Which? Financial Services Limited. That is untrue.
If you have any experiences with these scams do let me know, by email.
