Scams can come in many different guises. It could be via someone cold calling at your house, unsolicited telephone calls, mail shots, text messages, emails and information on the internet. Scammers are always looking for new ways to cash in on unsuspecting victims. And if it’s too good to be true, then it’s probably a scam.
