Good habits to spot banking fraud:

⚠️Check your account regularly for new payees, direct debits and standing orders you didn’t authorize

⚠️Check recent transactions for ones you don’t recognise

Contact your bank immediately if you don’t recognize transactions.

Never assume a phone call is authentic just because someone knows your basic details such as name and address. If something feels wrong, then it’s usually right to question it.

Criminals are very skilled at making you believe their feelings are genuine. They will speak to you for months before asking you for financial help.

Don’t be fooled. A criminal’s end goal is only ever to get your money. #RomanceFraud #LoveNotLies https://t.co/f1WLH1nhIZ
