Scam Emails

Dear Parent/Carer

I have been asked by Durham County Council to pass on the following information;

Durham County Council has been informed that some parents have received an email stating the following:

‘As schools will be closing, if you’re entitled to free school meals, please send your bank details and we’ll make sure you’re supported’.

I would just like to confirm this is a scam email and is not from the local authority. We urge you and parents that if you receive any emails like this, please do not respond and delete it immediately.

Yours sincerely

Mr G.W. Lumsdon

Head Teacher
