**Important notice, please read**
We have recently been made aware of a scam that may be doing the rounds.
People have been sent an email stating that your pets microchip has "Expired" and asking for payment to renew.
The email contains your pets correct microchip number along with your own personal details, name, phone number, address and email address, (so this makes it seem legitimate when they have correct personal information.)
It then asks you to click on a link to enter payment details to update the microchip.
Note:If you have had your pet microchipped in the last 10 years it will have been registered by your vet to a legitimate microchip database, this is a once off thing and does not need to be renewed and does not expire, except for updating personal details if any have changed since you first registered.
The one that we have been made aware of, comes from "[email protected]"
If you receive an email/ text like this:
PLEASE DONT CLICK ON THE LINK OR ENTER CARD/BANK DETAILS
Contact your local vet clinic so that they can check your chip is registered to a registered database.
