How to spot a scam

There are many types of scams, including texts, letters, or even in person – but more and more, these criminals will target their victims online.

They can take many forms, and usually appear to be a legitimate opportunity. Scammers are clever and know all the tricks to get you to hand over your information.

Knowing how to recognize scams is the best way to protect yourself. Here are some things to be wary of:

• Your bank calls asking you to move money: Possibly the most common bank scam is getting you to transfer money out of your account, often into a ‘safe account’. Banks will never ask you to do this. If you’re suspicious of someone saying they’re from your bank, hang up and call them back on the number printed on your card.
• Cold-calling: If somebody contacts you claiming to be from a known company and offers you a product or deal, avoid signing up there and then. Instead, contact the company to ask if it is legitimate (don’t use any contact details they give you).
• You’re asked to pay before you receive an item or service: For example, an upfront fee before a loan is paid into your account.
• The company is difficult to contact: If a firm doesn’t allow you to call them back, or their contact details are only mobile phone numbers or a PO box address.
• Mistakes and typos in emails and text messages: Most emails and texts from major companies are proofread and checked. Also watch out for email address that have random characters and letters, and emails encouraging you to click a link in the message.
• If it sounds too good to be true (it usually is): For example, a company is promising a refund if you click on a link and enter your bank details.
• If you’re asked for passwords and PIN numbers: A bank or legitimate company will never ask you for your PIN number or any online banking passwords.
• If you’re pressurized to make a quick decision: Scammers like to involve a sense of fear or urgency as a tactic to bully you into action. Never be rushed into making a decision.
• Winning a competition you didn’t enter: Avoid competitions to win prizes on pages that are very new, or not the official brand page. Be wary if you get a message from a stranger, brand or even a friend telling you you’ve won a competition that you don’t recall entering.
• The website doesn’t have a secure link: It’s easy to be fooled by a fake website. When using web pages, make sure the site has a secure link by checking there’s a padlock symbol in the browser and the link starts with ‘https://’.

How to Get Your Stolen Money Back from Scammer

Provided you’ve done nothing to compromise the security of your account, you should get your money back. But this isn’t guaranteed.

Refunds can be delayed or refused if there is reasonable grounds to think you’ve been grossly negligent. However, banks can’t simply say because your PIN or password were used that the payment was authorized.
