Latest scam alerts
Trending scam methods this week
Updated weekly · community reports
"Safe payment" QR code scams on marketplaces
Buyers are asked to scan a QR to "release funds" — the code opens a phishing wallet page. Never scan a payment QR you didn't create.
Fake vehicle history reports on private sales
Sellers send a link to a lookalike "free HPI" site showing a clean report. Always run the reg through a trusted source before paying a deposit.
Delivery re-scheduling SMS harvesting cards
Text asks for a small redelivery fee. The card page steals the full number, then a spoofed "bank" call empties the account minutes later.
Rental deposit scams using cloned listings
Real property photos re-listed at a discount. "Landlord" is abroad and asks for a deposit before a viewing. Never pay before an in-person viewing.
