The NHS has experienced an increase in several types of fraud since the start of the pandemic and everyone should remain vigilant. 

Mandate fraud occurs when someone contacts an NHS organisation with an urgent request to change a direct debit, standing order or bank transfer mandate, by purporting to be from a genuine supplier that regular payments are made to. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the urgent nature of such requests is likely to appear more pressing and convincing. If the organisation accepts the fraudulent request, the payments are then diverted into the criminal’s bank account. The genuine supplier details are usually obtained from a range of sources including corrupt staff, publicly announced contracts and online logs of supplier contracts.

96% of phishing attacks arrive by email - exercising caution can help protect you and the NHS.
