Have you seen a deal online that looks too good to be true?   🤔 Purchase scams are when a criminal creates fake adverts online to encourage you to buy goods that don’t actually exist. Always stop and think. Research the seller before you part with your money and information.

Watch your card when you’re away! Keep your passport, ID and card safe when travelling. Shield your PIN when typing it in and check your bank statement when you get home for any transactions you don’t recognise. #TakeFive #Holidayfraud
