Don't Fall for It: Your Guide to Spotting Scams

Scams come in many forms, but they often share the same tricks – urgent requests, too-good-to-be-true offers and pressure to act fast. They can be tricky and often look very real, but there are simple ways to stay safe. Be careful with messages or calls that ask for money, personal details or quick decisions – especially if they come from someone you don’t know or seem unusual. Scammers may pretend to be a company, a friend or offer deals that sound too good to be true. Watch out for poor grammar, strange links or requests to pay by bank transfer. If something doesn’t feel right, take your time, ask a trusted family member or contact the company directly using official contact details. Staying alert and asking questions can help protect you from being scammed.
