BARNSLEY Council has issued a warning to residents after a fraudulent email was sent out purporting to be from the local authority.
A spokesperson for the council said: “We’re aware of a phishing email relating to an invoice remittance attachment which poses as being from Barnsley Council.
“These emails are not from us.
“Please be aware of these emails and do not enter any details unless you are certain it is genuine.
“If you think you have received one of these emails, please report it to Action Fraud.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
