Wow. These criminals will get into anything and everything they can  x

[Cleoriff]

I thought this one was particularly relevant here as it's a scam involving iTunes. Sickening the lengths these crooks will go to

thanks for the heads up

If there is money to be made then rest assured these people will find it. Sickening all the same but the more that technology advances, then the more sophisticated these people get.

Yeah, there's deceitful, lazy, workshy scroungers everywhere all too ready to steal from honest people.

New Alert.11/8/16

Fraudsters selling non existent drones

Online shopping websites are being utilised by fraudsters to advertise nonexistent drones of various specifications for competitive prices.After victims agree to purchase the drone, the fraudsters request payment to be paid via bank transfer saying that it will quicken the delivery process. After transferring the money the buyers never receive the drone and the fraudster blocks the victim to prevent further conversation

Seems like a good idea @Toby. So we would always have the most recent fraud at the top of the page?

Yep exactly, you could make a post (in case members always go the latest reply) and we can add that post in your OP too. Seems like a good idea to me! PM me when you need to add anything in :).

Glad to see this thread up and running Cleo!
