Fraud Warning
| Day three of our scam awareness mission sees us looking at…
Quishing scams Quishing, also known as QR code phishing, involves tricking someone into scanning a phony QR code with their phone or device. The QR code then takes the user to a fraudulent website that might download malware or ask for sensitive information. QR codes are often found on things like parking machines, charging points, emails, even restaurant menus and you may well use them even more this time of year as you dash between car parks to purchase presents and meet up with friends in cafes and restaurants. Prevention: · Check… if the QR is on a poster in a public area, always check whether it appears to have been stuck over the poster, window or billboard. If the sign or notice is laminated and the QR code is under the lamination or part of the original print, chances are it’s more likely to be genuine · If in doubt… download the app from the official Google or Apple store or search the website on your phone’s internet browser, rather than scanning a QR code to take you there. It may take longer, but it’s more secure · Trust your instincts, if something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t For more advice about all kinds of fraud, visit our website |

E-Cops – Fraud warning
There have been quite a few people in our area – that have been victims of Romance Fraud.
Yesterday marked the start of international fraud awareness week, and we want to make you aware of some of our most “frequent frauds” to help keep you and your loved ones safe from the scammers.
Every day this week, at 9am, we will send you details of a different fraud and how to prevent yourself falling victim.
First up, romance fraud
It might not be Valentine’s Day just yet, but people look for love all year round, and when they do, they often turn to online dating. Sadly, romance fraudsters can always be relied upon to ruin the fun. Dating and romance scammers build a bond with someone online, leading the victim to believe they are in a real relationship, before asking for money, usually for an emotive reason.
Prevention:
- Never send money to someone you haven’t met
- Always use trusted dating sites to speak with a new love interest and be wary of anyone who wants to take the conversation away from the platform too quickly
- Beware of the use of fake photos and videos – the person you are talking to or looking at may not be who they say they are.
A quick Google reverse image search will show you if their profile picture has been used before
