    Note that this scam is now even mentioned on Aqua Aid’s own webpages. And Jo has confirmed there seems to be no record of any actual contracts with them in the department.

    A different variation on these fake AquaAid messages got past our filters in early January – filters now adjusted to catch the latest variation. As before please just delete any that get through.
