Scammers often target people who send money abroad. If someone pressures you to send money quickly, stop and check.
Common scams
- Impersonation: someone pretending to be a relative with a new number, a bank, the police or a tax office.
- Romance: an online partner you've never met asks for money.
- Investment and crypto: guaranteed or very high returns.
- Purchase: paying a stranger by money transfer for goods, rent or a job offer.
How to protect yourself
- Only send money to people you know and trust.
- Call your relative on a number you already have before sending.
- Never share your password or one-time codes; we will never ask for them.
- Take your time: genuine requests can wait for you to check.
