27 April 2021

The ABTT have received information regarding a scam letter being sent out. We are aware of businesses receiving BEIS-headed letters instructing them to share contact details and purchase air purifiers. More details below.

The ABTT have received information regarding a scam letter being sent out. We are aware of businesses receiving BEIS-headed letters (see attached image) instructing them to share contact details and purchase air purifiers.

This is incorrect and an illegitimate letter. A tweet has been shared via the BEIS account (here) encouraging recipients to send on to Action Fraud.

The ABTT would like to clairfy that there remains NO requirement for anyone to buy air-purifiers, (UNLESS you choose to do so as the outcome of a risk assessment).

Should you receive such a letter please use the link to Action Fraud to report the scam.
