We are aware of a several bogus communications – claiming to be from various employees of the FSA – which ask the recipient for personal information and/or money.

These communications are often in the form of emails or letters and they sometimes use the name of a current or former FSA employee. They are likely to be linked to organised fraud and we strongly advise that you do not respond to them in any way.

Here are some recent examples:

• Bogus letter from John Tiner
• Email 1
• Email 2
• Letter 1
• Letter 2
