Ofsted warning over suspicious email
Ofsted have issued a warning over spam emails which have been sent out from an email account claiming to be the watchdog group.
The phishing email is said to ask for payment details to be confirmed via PayPal.
Ofsted are therefore asking for people to be vigilant and understand that the group would never ask for fees to be paid by PayPal.
In a statement, they said: “If you receive a suspicious email like this one, please delete it immediately and take no further action.”
