What do I do if I receive an email that requests my personal information or concerns me?

How do I protect myself from phishing?

The key thing is to be suspicious of all unsolicited or unexpected emails you receive, even if they appear to originate from a trusted source. Although we may contact you by email, we will never ask you to reconfirm your login details or your password in full or personal information. If you receive any email that concerns you please forward them to enquiries@sentinelgold.co.uk and we will investigate them further.
