Fraud

How to protect yourself from fraud:

Be suspicious of all ‘too good to be true’ offers and deals – There are no guaranteed get-rich-quick schemes.
Do not hand over money or sign anything until you have obtained independent/legal advice and done some research – Do not feel hurried into taking action or making a decision, however much pressure may be put on you. Always take 5 minutes to think.
Never give out your banking or personal details to anyone you do not know or trust – Never give out your bank PIN code. Police, bank staff, or other officials will never ask for your bank PIN code, or ask you to withdraw money or buy goods to give to them for safekeeping.
Do not be embarrassed to report a scam – Fraudsters are cunning and clever, there is no shame in being deceived. By reporting, you will make it more difficult for them to deceive others.
