WARNING - Text census scam

30/04/2021

We have just been advised that some crofters have received a text message linked to a Census. The message stated they had not completed their census properly and could be fined £1000 so they should go to census.ons\gov.net.

This is a national scam that can be read about on this link https://www.bing.com/search?q=census+scam+text&qs=n&form=QBRE&msbsrank=1_1__0&sp=-1&pq=census+scam+text&sc=1-16&sk=&cvid=D8C9534FF862469F817B8B32FBA64DDF

The Commission NEVER sends information by text so please just delete the message and do not click on the link within it. As a reminder all government websites end with the suffix .gov.uk or .gov.scot

Stay safe folks
