Purpose of these resources

The materials on this page are designed to help users better understand common online scam patterns and recognise warning signs before harm occurs. All content is educational only.

Common warning signs

Be cautious if a website pressures you to act quickly, promises unrealistic returns, impersonates well-known brands, hides ownership details, or requests sensitive information such as identity documents or login credentials.

Website checks

Always review the domain name carefully, look for clear contact information, verify independent reviews, and be cautious with newly created or copied websites.

Payments & requests

Fraudulent websites often request unusual payment methods such as gift cards, cryptocurrency, or direct transfers with urgency. Legitimate organisations rarely demand immediate payment without verification.

Educational focus
