Rotary warns against online scam
ROTARY ISSUE COVID SCAM WARNINGS
Wigan Rotary Club are warning as Vaccination scams have become one of the
biggest threats. A phone call, email, or text message is sent in an attempt to
steal personal and financial details. The message contains a link to a fake NHS
website with an application form to register for the vaccine asking for various
personal and bank details.
Five of the other most common current scams at present are
*Postal Delivery Scams with more shopping now online criminals are using fake
DPD and Royal Mail emails to collect personal information which they use to
commit fraud.
*Purchase Scams criminals will follow the trend and will offer goods for sale that
are in high demand. Customers report scams involving pets that don’t exist,
games consoles, mobile phones, and even hot tubs and camper vans. If you see
a good deal advertised via auction sites or on social media be careful
*Coronavirus Tax Refund criminals are bombarding inboxes with fake emails,
texts, and calls claiming entitlement to a support grant or tax rebate due to
coronavirus. The aim is to get you to give them your personal details sometimes
including your payment card information. Once criminals have your details, they
may call you pretending to be from your bank’s fraud team trying to persuade
you to move your money to a ‘safe account’ or give away your card reader
codes. Report emails like this to report@phishing.gov.uk
*Offers to make quick money there has been an increase in criminals trying to
lure people in becoming money mules through a ‘get rich quick’ offers. If
someone offers you money to use your bank account refuse and alert the police
Rosemary Charles President of Wigan Rotary Club said ‘ During the lockdown
criminals have taken advantage of more people working remotely and online and
even though the lockdown is easing the criminals are still as active as ever and
we want to warn everyone to be on their guard. You are currently more likely to
be a victim of fraud that any other crime.’
