    Send money to receive a prize or inheritance?
  • Are you cashing or depositing a cheque for any of these reasons
    Winning a prize, competition or lottery you never entered

If you answered "YES" to any of the above, you may be getting SCAMMED!

Avoid being scammed

  • Don't respond to suspicious email, letters, phone calls or sms messages. Stop the call, ignore the email or throw away the letters.
  • Never accept an offer straight away, do your research and seek independent advise especially if it involves significant amount, time and commitment.
  • Do not send money to someone you do not know or trust - it is difficult to recover your money from a scammer.
  • Protect your identity - your personal details are private and invaluable
  • Awareness education is important, if you have spotted a scam spread the word to your family and friends.
  • Always be alert - Scammers will target you anyhow, anytime and anywhere.
