Tell-tale signs that you are being scammed
- You are asked to share personal banking information such as identification number, banking details, credit card details and/or passwords via telephone calls, WhatsApp, SMS or emails.
- You are asked to transfer or pay an “advance fee” in order for an application or investment to be approved.
- You are paying into a personal bank account and not the company.
- You are pressured to act immediately in order to secure a ‘promotion’ or a ‘deal’.
- You are guaranteed a high return in a short period of time.
- You are being ignored after you have shared certain banking information or after you have transferred money.
If you suspected that you are being scammed, here’s what to do:
- Put down the phone immediately or stop communicating if you suspect anything amiss. Immediately verify with your bank or investment companies.
- Change your passwords.
- Lodge a police report.
