After a Boxing Day bargain? Beware of purchase scams, when criminals trick people into paying for goods/services that don’t exist. They advertise on auction sites/social media, with images from genuine sellers to convince you they’re legit. Beware of "too good to be true deals".

Still looking at those post-Christmas sales? Criminals will try to rush or panic you into making a purchase for something that never materialises. Always make sure you’re buying from a reputable source and if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! #TakeFive
