SCAM ‘phishing’ text message posing as Ofsted

We have received reports from local providers that they have received a suspicious looking ‘phishing’ text message posing as Ofsted, with an urgent alert telling them that their Ofsted Registration has been ‘suspended’ and asking the recipient to click on a link.

This is in fact a SCAM, please do not click on the link and delete the message from your phone.
