Scams coming your way due to cost of living

Hi All

 

An interesting report from the UK, based on the number of scams arising due to the rising cost of living.  Something to watch out for:

This article rings so true.  I know it came from a British source but I have seen the same things happening here in Canada.

 

I use a smartphone and the number of times that I get text messages saying that this company or that company has a refund for me. All I need to do is provide a bank account number.  Then there are the scams on the actual phone.  One scam relates to my car (new and still on warranty) but that I need to have a costly repair done at THEIR service department not the an authorized dealer.

 

I have been doing Sec. Awareness for some local seniors and will be adding this material in.

 

Thanks for sharing.
