Scammers are always finding new ways to defraud unsuspecting individuals, particularly through fake service offers. 

As we observe Cybersecurity Month, it’s a timely reminder of the importance of staying vigilant and protecting yourself from these schemes.

Here are some steps to help you avoid falling victim to fake service scams, and what to do if you’ve already been scammed.

Exercise Caution with Unsolicited Offers

Be particularly cautious with cold calls, emails, and messages on social media that offer services that seem too good to be true. Scammers often create a sense of urgency or present deals that are hard to resist in order to lure their victims.

Verify Contact Information

Always take the time to verify the contact details of sellers or service providers you’re considering. Be it through emails or social media groups, look closely for subtle differences in spelling or unusual domain names that scammers might use to impersonate legitimate companies. Authentic businesses will always have verified contact information.

Cybersecurity Month: How to Identify Fake Service Crypto Scams

Stay Educated and Informed

Knowledge is your best defence. Stay informed about the latest scams and how they operate. Understanding common tactics used by scammers can help you spot potential fraud before it’s too late. Regularly updating yourself on cybersecurity practices will go a long way in protecting your personal information and assets.

What to Do If You’ve Been Scammed

If you find yourself a victim of a fake service scam, act quickly:

  1. Report the incident: Immediately notify relevant local authorities and the platform or messaging service where the scam occurred.
  2. Provide details: Share all relevant information, including the scammer’s profile name, email, or phone number. This will help prevent others from falling victim to the same scam.
  3. Protect your accounts: Change your passwords and monitor your accounts for any suspicious activity.
