Complex Law: Your Shield Against Online Fraud & Scams

Common types of fraud

Investment Scams

Investment scams are executed by fraudsters posing as representatives of legitimate investment firms. Victims are lured with promises of high returns with low risk and are often approached unexpectedly via phone, email, or social media. These scams include fake opportunities with time-sensitive investment demands, leading to victims transferring money to the scammers under false pretences, resulting in significant financial loss.

Common types of fraud

“Safe Account” & Impersonation Scam

Impersonation scams involve fraudsters posing as credible entities like banks, HMRC, or utility companies, convincing victims to transfer money under false pretences. Scammers use tactics like urgent payment demands for fake debts or bills, or claiming money needs to be moved for 'safekeeping'. These scams can occur via email, phone calls, or text messages, and target both individuals and companies.

Common types of fraud

Purchase Scams

Purchase scams trick victims into buying non-existent products, usually advertised at discounted prices on various platforms including social media and clone websites. After transferring money for items like cars, technology products, or holiday rentals, the seller disappears and the products are never delivered. These scams often involve requests for direct bank transfers or payments to a crypto wallet.

Common types of fraud

Romance Scams

Romance scams involve fraudsters creating fake profiles on dating websites or social media to build trust and romantic relationships with victims. These scammers often claim to be overseas and fabricate stories, such as needing money for a medical emergency or travel expenses, to manipulate victims into sending money. Victims are also misled into making investments in non-existent opportunities, particularly in cryptocurrency.
