Social Media Scams

Have you ever come across something online that looks a little bit too good to be true? It might be a competition you've won that you didn't know you'd entered, or a new cryptocurrency with a low buy-in price and promised high returns. It's very possible that behind these tempting offers is a person who wants nothing more than to gather your information, take your money, or hack into your computer. Worse still, it can be hard to spot the differences between an imitation and a genuine request when online. Every day more victims of online scams are coming forward to share their stories. These victims have experienced losses of their money, jobs, and homes at the hands of scammers who have no regard for the turmoil they bring to others. These stories are documented in the hope that they may help others avoid the same fate.
