Received a suspicious email?

If you receive an email that appears to come from QEF which seems to be too good to be true it probably is!

We are aware that emails are in circulation claiming to be from Queen Elizabeth’s Foundation. Some of them use our logo, address details and registered charity number, all in an attempt to make the email appear genuine.

Usually they advise of a sum of money payable to you in return for personal information such as your bank details. Or, the email may ask you to send a ‘small’ payment to cover the ‘expenses’ of getting this payment to you.

THESE ARE FRAUDALENT, SCAM EMAILS AND DO NOT ORIGINATE FROM QUEEN ELIZABETH’S FOUNDATION.

QEF is an organisation that provides support and training for disabled people.
It does not distribute funds to individuals as suggested by these emails.
