๐จ Beware of Companies House scams!
Fraudsters are increasingly targeting UK business owners by pretending to be from Companies House. Their goal is simple โ to steal your personal information, authentication codes, or money.
โ ๏ธ Stay alert if you receive:
๐ง Emails asking you to verify your identity or company details
๐ Phone calls requesting passwords, authentication codes or bank details
๐ Letters demanding payment for company registration or filing services
๐ Messages urging you to click suspicious links or scan QR codes.
โ Remember: Companies House will never ask you for passwords, authentication codes, or bank details over the phone. Genuine emails will always come from an address ending in .gov.uk.
๐ก How to protect your business:
โ๏ธ Always verify the sender's email address
โ๏ธ Never share sensitive information with unexpected callers
โ๏ธ Don't click suspicious links or open unexpected attachments
โ๏ธ Contact Companies House directly if you're unsure whether a communication is genuine.
๐ค At Lucas Prestige Accountants, we're committed to keeping our clients informed about the latest HMRC and Companies House updates, helping you protect both your business and your finances.
Stay vigilant. A few extra seconds of checking could save your business from becoming the next victim of fraud.
