Common Types of Scam Messages
Prize & Lottery Scams — "You've won £1,000!" Legitimate prizes don't require you to pay fees or provide bank details to claim. Bank & Financial Fraud — Messages pretending to be from your bank warning of "suspicious activity" or asking you to "verify your account." Banks never ask for full passwords or card numbers over text. Government Impersonation — Fake HMRC, IRS, or police messages demanding immediate payment to avoid arrest. Crypto Investment Scams — Promises of guaranteed high returns on cryptocurrency investments. Romance Scams — Building fake relationships online before asking for money. Parcel/Delivery Scams — Fake delivery notifications asking for payment to release a package.
What to Do If You Received a Scam Message
Do not click any links in the message. Do not call any numbers provided. Do not reply. If you already provided personal or financial information: contact your bank immediately (use the number on the back of your card), change your passwords, and report the scam to Action Fraud (UK: 0300 123 2040) or your national cybercrime reporting center. Report scam texts to your mobile carrier by forwarding to 7726 (SPAM).
