Scammers build fake relationships on dating platforms to convince you to invest.
After gaining your trust, they'll direct you to a scam company.
💔 Once you invest, they disappear with your money.

🚪 Knock knock? Be wary if a tradesperson arrives at your door unexpectedly.
They might claim to see an urgent problem and offer a cheap cash deal to fix it right away.
Honest traders don't usually work like this.

😰 Feeling panicked by an unexpected call from your bank?
It’s a tactic scammers use - they want you to act before you have time to think.
Don't be rushed into sharing details and contact your bank directly.
