This is one of the cruelest scams of all. Fraudsters will
sometimes take months to trick people into falling in love with a
made up persona. They are very adept at making the victim feel
like they are incredibly special to them before then starting to
extract money.
Very often they target people when they are at a low ebb or
feeling emotionally vulnerable.
With the rise in popularity of cryptocurrencies, scammers have
developed a variety of schemes to encourage people to invest in
phony opportunities. Very often victims of crypto scams are
targeted through social media platforms such as TikTok.
It is incredibly difficult to know whether a cryptocurrency
investment is genuine or not as it exists within its own
unregulated sphere.
Fraudsters may send emails or messages pretending to be from a
legitimate app or company, asking for personal information such as
login details or bank card numbers.
This frequently starts off as a link in an email or text message
and leads victims to accidentally give up secure information.
This sort of fraud is often targeted at older people. Scammers may call the victim and pretend to be IT support to trick users into providing remote access to their computers, tablets or phones. From there, they are able to extract bank details and personal information.
Rental scams take advantage of people’s desperate need to find a
home to rent.
Scammers will often rent out a property that they don’t own and
demand large upfront fees.
They will offer flats and houses below the market rate to attract
victims.
These frauds involve scammers either pretending to be a celebrity or claiming that a famous person is endorsing a product or service.
The fraudsters play on the goodwill that exists towards the celebrity and their brand to trick the victim into paying over money.
When booking a holiday it is increasingly difficult to know whether a destination even exists. Some fraudsters are setting up fake websites and social media posts pretending to sell holidays that don’t exist.
Fraudsters will send emails or texts telling victims that they have won a prize, such as a lottery win, free holiday or money. In order to claim the prize, users are then required to send a payment or provide personal information, only to discover that the prize does not exist and they have been scammed.
One of the sickest scams to exist is fraudsters pretending to be someone’s loved-one and messaging to say that they are urgently in need of money. Some scammers are even able to use technology to mimic the voice of a relative.
All businesses are vulnerable to being targeted by fraudsters and scammers. We can help you recover your money in a variety of ways often under no win, no fee agreements.
