A garden centre in Cornwall has issued an urgent warning after becoming aware of another scam email circulating in connection with its upcoming Christmas markets.
Trevena Cross in Breage has shared a post on social media warning people that fraud emails have been sent to businesses and stallholders using an unofficial email address and claiming to represent the popular festive event.
In the post, Trevena Cross apologised for any confusion or inconvenience caused and urged recipients to be vigilant.
The garden centre stressed that the only official email address for Christmas market enquiries is marketing@trevenacross.co.uk.
Anyone receiving emails claiming to be from Trevena Cross from a different address is advised not to respond, click any links or make any payments. Instead, recipients should block and report the sender.
The business is also calling on the public to share the warning to help protect local businesses and stallholders from falling victim to the scam.
A spokesperson said: "We'd really appreciate you sharing this post to help spread the word and protect other local businesses."
