Police warning on fake website

This is a Community Message from Dorset Police, we thank you for your continued support.


22092011. Please be aware of the following website that is currently in existence. It is an attempt to con the reader.

The website address is www.bbc11.co.uk

This is not the BBC site which is www.bbc.co.uk


However, it is very deceptive and all the links from the fake page link into the genuine BBC site so that readers will think it is genuine.

IT IS NOT GENUINE AND ENCOURAGES THE READER TO ENTER A PROCESS THAT WILL INVOLVE FINANCIAL LOSS.

Please do not fall victim to this type of scam.

Thank You

OpenDNS reports this site a down/failing webservers so it may already have been dealt with by the hosting provider.
