Phishing Scams
Phishing is when someone tries to steal your money, or your identity, by getting you to input personal information (for example credit card numbers, bank information, or passwords) on a phishing website. It is an easy trap to fall into as cybercriminals often pretend to be reputable companies, with emails that are more and more sophisticated.
For the latest information on current phishing scams involving the AA and what to do, please see below.
AA Insurance scam email
We have been made aware of a scam email circulating, claiming to be from AA Insurance requesting recipients to click a link in order to receive a refund.
The scam email is designed to trick recipients into thinking it is from AA Insurance and to click the link (and probably then enter their bank account details).
If you have received this email please refer to this article on AAI's help centre I have received a letter, email or text asking me to complete a form for a No Claims Bonus benefit error. Is this a scam?
