Scams
Have you been scammed?
Most scams need you to do something before they can work.
Scammers may:
- ask you to send them money based on promises that turn out to be false;
- ask you to provide your personal information and bank details.
Some are easy to spot while others are so sneaky you may not know they are scams.
PROTECT YOURSELF.
Remember - If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!
