ScamWatch - Protect Yourself from Scams!

Scams can range from emails that ask you to 'verify' your personal or banking details by following a link, to letters, emails or phone calls requesting an upfront payment of a relatively small fee in return for promised riches. They can also come in the guise of lottery winnings for draws you never entered or calls about terrific investment opportunities from people you've never met. The best defence against these scams – do not respond. You can use the information on this website to protect yourself from scammers and their tricks, and learn how to recognise scams from genuine offers.
