Fraudulent VGCCC entitlement payment invoices

A venue operator recently received a fraudulent entitlement payment invoice which requested payment to a false VGCCC bank account.  

The VGCCC has not changed banking details. 

If you receive a VGCCC invoice, please check to ensure it contains the correct account details – VGCCC Revenue Account.
