Purchase fraud is when criminals convince you to purchase goods or services that don’t exist.

#TakeFive before you buy. Stop and think before clicking on offers on social media or email.

Knock, knock. Who’s there? A fraudster in disguise 🎭

#TakeFive to stop and think.

Criminals may pose as your bank, the police or someone you trust. Never share security details or move money under pressure. A genuine organisation won’t mind if you called back.

Not every job offer is what it seems – can you spot the clues? 🔍

Criminals can impersonate recruiters and copy real recruitment language.

#TakeFive before responding:
- Check the job independently
- Question jobs you didn’t apply for
- Be cautious if asked for personal details

As the job-hunting season begins, it is important to protect yourself.

Spot the red flags of a job scam:
•Vague job offers
•Big pay, little effort
•‘Trial tasks’ with a fee
•Pressure to act fast

Stay safe:
•Use trusted platforms
•Research companies
•Never pay to apply
