New internet phishing alert
New emails and letters appearing to be from employees of the Government Legal Department/Bona Vacantia Division are in circulation
These are giving the recipient opportunity to claim ownerless properties and funds through the Bona Vacantia Division
Neither GLD nor BV Division will ever issue emails or letters making such offers. If you receive such correspondence, you should treat it with suspicion. We would recommend that you do not respond to any such offer, do not click on any links in the email and report it as spam to your internet service provider or to Action Fraud
