Cyber Warning
Apricity Law take cybersecurity and the threats from cybercrime very seriously.
Incidents involving cybercrime and fraud are a real and increasing threat to all solicitors and their clients. This may arise in a number of circumstances including cybercriminals impersonating the law firm to persuade you to disclose confidential information, intercepting emails to find out more about your matters, fraudulently changing bank account details in order to steal money from you or obtaining other information that could be used to perpetrate a fraud.
It is essential, therefore, that you are vigilant at all times and always proceed with caution when responding to any requests – especially in relation to bank details.
Our bank account details will not change during the course of a transaction. We will have provided our bank account details at the outset. Please do not pay any money to an account other than this and note that we do not accept responsibility should you transfer money to an incorrect bank account. Please check with us using a known telephone number should you receive any request from us that is not in accordance with this and which appears to you to be fraudulent. Please contact us immediately before transferring ay sums to us – especially large sums – to verify our bank details.
Please bear in mind that an email you receive from a fraudster may also contain fraudulent contact details, so always verify our contact details by other means.
