Classic Football Shirts warns customers of scam
A firm selling retro football team shirts and merchandise has apologised to customers after a cyber-security attack accessed their data.
Classic Football Shirts said customers’ details had been accessed through one of its third party providers’ systems.
Some customers complained of receiving emails offering cashback on their previous orders.
The firm is now telling customers not to follow the link if they have received the cashback phishing email.
Classic Football Shirts said it became aware of the cashback emails at 20:30 on Thursday night – half an hour after they were sent.
The firm believes password data and payment information has not been compromised.
But in a Twitter post, the company urged customers to be “vigilant” and contact their bank to cancel their cards if they supplied their card information on the link from the cashback form.
The clothes business said payment information was “never stored on their system” and apologised for the “inconvenience caused”.
But many customers commented with concern that scammers were able to access their names, addresses, email addresses and order history.
