Detective Agency Glasgow Urge for More Caution and Awareness of Fraudsters and Scammers
(PRWEB UK) 27 January 2014 -- The Telegraph article dated 16th Jan 2014: 10 scams to watch out for in 2014, advises that, if you are on the hunt for Rugby World Cup tickets or receive a suspicious email from Royal Mail, beware. They involve two of many common financial scams that have the simple aim of separating you from your money, regardless of the distress it may cause.
The Telegraph article goes on to say that many scams are old tricks – but updated with new twists or technology. Other cons have emerged in response to better detection and policing. Financial Fraud Action UK says fraudsters are targeting consumers directly through ''deception'' crimes – where they try to dupe people into parting with information – because the security features on payment cards have improved.
In the Telegraph article dated 16th Jan 2014, fans are being advised to purchase tickets and packages only from the official Rugby World Cup 2015 site, rather than secondary agents. The article suggests that if tickets are not bought through the official channels there could be fraudulent activity. Other scams include vishing, in which a swindler calls a consumer pretending to be either their bank or the police, and says that the consumer's card has been compromised, persuading the victim to transfer funds, withdraw money or reveal security information, graphene scam, PBX phone fraud, auction sites, phishing and others.
