Online scammers trying to ‘land’ unsuspecting ‘catch’
Some customers have recently received fake or ‘phishing’ emails claiming to be requisitions or replies to requisitions from Land Registry.  Bogus emails often have an attachment containing a computer virus.  All genuine requisition emails come from a Land Registry office email ending in .gov.uk (e.g. Durham.Office@landregistry.gsi.gov.uk).  Phishing emails are sent from other addresses;  (e.g. Durham.OfficeMail [mailto:nick@officemaile.com)
