A little book explaining some of the most common frauds and scams and gives advice on how to avoid falling victim to them

Fraud is when a person lies to you, or ‘scams’ you, to gain an advantage, such as taking your money or learning private information about you.

The scam, known as 'vishing', involves a fraudster making a phone call posing as a bank representative and persuading victims to reveal financial information or use their card readers to authorise payments online.

'Spoofing' is when scammers change their number to show a legitimate company’s number rather than their personal number.
