Fake emails using Bolton Car Centre’s name
BCC Cars is aware of fake emails, popularly called "phishing" emails which can contain notices such as job advertisements, job offers and competition award notifications. These emails use BCC Cars name to pretend they are genuine and exist solely for the purpose of obtaining private information about consumers (e.g. credit card numbers or passwords). These emails have no connection with Bolton Car Centre Ltd and does not use these methods for job advertising or for communicating with competition winners.
Unfortunately, these fake emails are a growing fraud on the internet. This practice is carried out either by the sending of a bogus email directly to a victim, or by directing them to a website where personal information is requested.

Fake job offers tend to target overseas individuals, as they ask for money to be sent to them for UK visa purposes. BCC Cars never requests payments details in association with any job applications or any communication related to them. If in any doubt about the validity of a recruitment offer, please contact headoffice@BCCcars.com.

Recent email award notifications have purported to be from Bolton Car Centre.  BCC Cars never requests payment details in association with competition winners or any communication related to them.

BCC Cars advises that if you receive an email using Bolton Car Centres name that asks for personal information or financial information and you have concerns about its authenticity, then please treat such emails with extreme caution.
