Common fraud patterns

How to verify a message

Use a different channel

If a message seems to come from someone you know:

  • Call them on the number you already have saved
  • Ask a question only they could answer
  • Message them on another app
  • Meet in person if you can

Check the official source

If it claims to be from an organisation:

  • Type the official website address yourself
  • Use the phone number on your card, passbook or statement
  • Visit a branch or office if needed
  • Never use contact details given in the message

Research before acting

Before replying to an unexpected offer or request:

  • Search the exact wording online
  • Look for reviews and registration details of the company
  • Check the regulator’s list for investment and lending offers
  • Talk to someone you trust

Keep evidence

If you suspect fraud:

  • Take screenshots of the whole conversation
  • Save phone numbers, emails and links
  • Note dates, times and transaction IDs
  • Write down what was asked or offered

Report it

Once you have checked:

  • Report the sender on the app where it happened
  • File a complaint with the cybercrime portal
  • Tell your bank if money or cards are involved
  • Warn family and friends
