How to recognise a scam

â–  catch you unawares, contacting you, without you asking them to, by phone, email, post orsometimes in person

■ sound pleasant, well spoken and kind (on the phone or at your door) and want you to thinkthey’re your friend

â–  have slick, professional leaflets and letters

â–  be persistent and persuasive

â–  rush you into making a decision

■ ask you to send money before you receive their tempting offer or win. 

They offer you somethingfor nothing

■ you’ve won a prize in a draw or a lottery (even though you haven’t entered one)

■ an exclusive entry to a scheme that’s a surefire way to make money

â–  a way to earn easy money by helping them get untold millions out of their country

â–  the chance to join an investment scheme that will make you huge amounts of money; and so on.

Dont take any action which will cause you hurt. Try to ignore them. These kind of scam hit you bthrough emails or websites also.
