Scammers are using names and addresses of dormant companies to set up online stores

They ask for payment via bank transfer, but don't send goods to consumers

When shopping online pay by credit card or secure payment system rather than bank transfer

People have lost money after approaching traders via social media & paying for work that was not carried out

💷wants payment via bank transfer to a personal account
💻asks to interact via a personal rather than business page
