Hello folks, can I please ask if anyone has received emails from the Charities Trust asking for bank details confirmation, see below. This is unsolicited and I do not click on links in emails I am not expecting, I have removed the link/contact details etc fyi. But their contact details seem to check out although scams are very sophisticated these days.
Has anyone had experience of this and know if it is legitimate?
Thank you,
Jo
