I would like to thank them for embracing our reporting service as well as the many organisations which have promoted it,&#8221; said Ciaran Martin, chief executive of the NCSC.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While cyber criminals continue to prey on people&#8217;s fears, the number of scams we have removed in such a short timeframe shows what a vital role the public can play in fighting back.<\/p>\n<p>Many scams being reported to the NCSC include websites claiming to sell coronavirus-related products including testing kits, face masks and even vaccines \u2013 which currently don&#8217;t exist. Anyone entering details into these websites are likely just to get their personal information and bank details stolen.<\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top\" data-component=\"medusaContentRecommendation\" data-medusa-content-recommendation-options=\"{&quot;promo&quot;:&quot;promo_zd_recommendation_sharethrough_top_in_article_desktop&quot;,&quot;spot&quot;:&quot;dfp-in-article&quot;}\">\n<\/section>\n<p>Other fraudulent websites taken down include fraudulent \u2013 but convincing \u2013 versions of government websites, as well as the TV licensing website. The scammers behind these pose as legitimate organisations in an effort to trick victims into handing over bank details.<\/p>\n<p>The suspicious email reporting service was co-developed by the City of London Police and the service will help police forces across the country identify new kinds of online fraud \u2013 and to take down malicious websites quickly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While the world is coming together to combat this global health crisis, criminals are intent on exploiting our unease, anxiety and vulnerabilities in these unprecedented times,&#8221; said Commander Karen Baxter, national lead for fraud at the City of London Police.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Fraud is an incredibly underreported crime. The more the police know about fraud, and fraud attempts, the better chance they have of tracking down those responsible and bringing them to justice,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>SEE:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/topic\/cybersecurity-lets-get-tactical\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Cybersecurity: Let&#8217;s get tactical<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;<strong>(ZDNet\/TechRepublic special feature) |&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techrepublic.com\/resource-library\/whitepapers\/cybersecurity-let-s-get-tactical-free-pdf\/?ftag=CMG-01-10aaa1b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-component=\"externalLink\"><strong>Download the free PDF version<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;<strong>(TechRepublic)<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Members of the public are urged to continue to forward suspicious messages to the NCSC at report@phishing.gov.uk \u2013 and to be mindful about emails and potentially fraudulent offers they see online.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I would urge people to remain vigilant and to forward suspect emails to us.
