Police Scotland has a host of advice and information related to scams and fraud which may assist you in identifying false approaches.

 

Tips from Police Scotland

 

  • be on guard if someone turns up unexpectedly
  • don’t assume it’s real – professional-looking websites, adverts or social media posts don’t always mean that an opportunity is genuine.
  • criminals can use the names of well-known brands or individuals to make their scams appear legitimate
  • don’t be rushed or pressured into making a decision – a genuine organisation won’t force you to part with your money
  • avoid uninvited investment offers, especially those over cold calls
