⚠️ Microchip Scam Awareness⚠️
We’ve received reports of a scam that may affect pet owners.
Fraudulent "businesses" falsely claiming to be from “Petchip Network” are sending emails claiming your pet’s microchip is about to expire and urging you to click a link and pay a fee!
🚨 Important Reminder:
Microchips do NOT expire. If you receive such an email:
❌ Do not click any links.
❌ Do not make any payments.
✅ Contact your original microchip provider to verify your details and ensure everything is in order.
✅ If you are unsure who your microchip provider is please contact your veterinary practice who can find this out for you.
✅ It is a pet owners legal obligation to keep their animals microchip details up-to-date! If your personal addresss or contact details change please contact your microchip provider to update this for you.
📞 If you believe you have been a victim of this scam we advise contacting the police or call Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040.
