    Received this email this morning. Looked like those from diabetes uk but, opened, it didn’t seem quite right. Is it genuine?
    Has anyone else had one of these? It included items marked as ‘not on the forum’. Is this usual?
    Thanks. Diane

    From volunteer experience and unless it was a general mail out , they are pretty careful about not sending unsolicited emails/letters.
    Are you a member and if so did you tick some box stating you were happy to be communicated with?
    My usual scam emails/mail involve fake amazon payment pages so this one seems a little unusual!

    Yes it seems to be this site. Mine says HOT in the forum. It is the regular newsletter. This article talking about the recent NHS press release regarding the effect of the First Lockdown on how diabetes care being interrupted may have led to 3,000 deaths.

    Yup, I got it too, it is definitely from DCUK if this is the one you are referring to?

    @Carson_dcuk , can you check if that is an email address belonging to our organisation?
