Beware of fraudulent schemes promising high returns on cryptocurrency investments. These scams often involve fake ICOs, Ponzi schemes, or phony trading platforms.

Scammers lure victims with false investment opportunities that guarantee high profits. These can range from shares, bonds, or real estate investments that don’t exist.

Fraudsters impersonate banks or HMRC, convincing victims to transfer money into a ‘safe account’ to protect it from fraud. These accounts are controlled by the scammers.

Scammers create fake websites or listings for goods or services that don’t exist. Victims pay for items that are never delivered.

Con artists build fake relationships through online dating sites or social media to gain their victim’s trust and eventually solicit money.

Fraudsters intercept legitimate business invoices and alter the payment details, leading businesses to unknowingly transfer funds to the scammer’s account.

Victims are offered fake job opportunities that require upfront payments for materials or training. These jobs are non-existent, and the payments are lost.

Scammers gain access to your bank or credit card details and make unauthorised transactions, causing financial loss without your consent.
