Phishing

Phishing is a method used by fraudsters to deceive someone into giving sensitive information.

This information is then used for identity theft and fraud.

Youn'gs Hire will only ask you to send personal details by email if it is responding to a query you have sent it online and these details are needed to answer your query properly. In this case, there will be a unique reference number in Young's Hire email to you, which refers to your original query. Young's Hire will never ask you to send any personal details by email unless you have contacted Young's Hire first. If you have not contacted Young's Hire, please ignore any email claiming to be from Young's Hire which asks for personal details, and let us know about it.

If Young's Hire ever requires your personal information other than when you have already contacted Young's Hire with a query, for security reasons we will ask you to give us a call.
