Email Security / Scam Advisory
Email Subject: Accident
We have had reports of a 3rd party pretending to be Goldsmith Williams and sending out unsolicited claim forms by email to be returned by post to a Manchester address (a practice referred to as 'phishing' by the internet security community).
If you receive such a message please ignore it – Goldsmith Williams would never send out unsolicited claim forms to individuals as a first method of contact.
An example of such a message is shown below – the 'from' field is clearly a gmail.com address (instead of goldsmithwilliams.co.uk).
Note also the postal address is not Goldsmith Williams' registered premises.
