A signup from a datacenter IP is almost never human. But block all cloud IPs and you lock out the company behind a corporate proxy.

Tell datacenters apart from corporate gateways and good bots, in one lookup.

Scam of the day: Phishing, smishing and vishing.

StreetOwl scam avoidance: Phishing, devices & accounts. Phishing, smishing and vishing. Also: fake login page · your account will be suspended · unusual sign-in. What they want: Your username, password and card details, typed by you into a copy of a real site. How it works: An email (phishing), text (smishing) or call (vishing) in the name of a service you use — bank, Apple, Microsoft, Netflix, PayPal, a courier — says something needs your attention: a suspended account, a failed payment, an unusual login. The link opens a pixel-perfect copy of the login page. The moment they push you to act: Typing credentials on the fake page, or reading a one-time code to the caller. Red flags: Any link in a message that asks you to log in. Go to the site yourself instead. A sender address or URL that is nearly right. A demand for a security code — no genuine organisation asks for one over the phone or in a message. Where to report: Forward emails to report@phishing.gov.uk and texts to 7726. Report fake sites at ncsc.gov.uk/report-scam-website. Happening right now? Hang up or close the message first. Money sent: call 159 · Scam text: forward to 7726 · Report Fraud · Scotland: 101. streetowl.co.uk/scam-avoidance-database, 4 Oct 2026.

Scam of the day: Rogue traders and doorstep repairs.

What they want: Cash for work that was not needed, not done, or done badly — and access to your home.

How it works, the red flags and what to do: streetowl.co.uk/scam-avoidance-database

#ScamAwareness #FraudPrevention

StreetOwl scam avoidance: Doorstep & home. Rogue traders and doorstep repairs. Also: roof scam · driveway gang · we noticed your chimney · cowboy builders. What they want: Cash for work that was not needed, not done, or done badly — and access to your home. How it works: A knock: they are working nearby and have noticed loose tiles, a blocked gutter, a dangerous chimney, or have 'left-over tarmac' for your drive. A small job at a good price becomes a large one once they are up the ladder; they may create damage to find. The moment they push you to act: Letting them start, and then paying to make them go away; being driven to the cash machine. Red flags: Unsolicited, 'working in the area', no written quote, no address. A problem only they can see, and a cash price. Pressure to decide now. Where to report: Trading Standards via Citizens Advice (0808 223 1133; Advice Direct Scotland 0808 164 6000); 999 if they will not leave. Happening right now? Hang up or close the message first.

Scam of the day: Lottery, prize and competition scams.

What they want: A fee to release a prize that does not exist, and your bank details 'to pay it into'.

How it works, the red flags and what to do: streetowl.co.uk/scam-avoidance-database

#ScamAwareness #FraudPrevention

StreetOwl scam avoidance: Prizes, loans & fees up front. Lottery, prize and competition scams. Also: you have won · Postcode Lottery scam · Facebook giveaway. What they want: A fee to release a prize that does not exist, and your bank details 'to pay it into'. How it works: A letter, email, text or social-media message says you have won a lottery, a car or a cash prize — often in a draw you never entered. To claim it you must pay a processing fee, tax or courier charge, or provide bank details and identity documents. The fees continue for as long as you pay them. The moment they push you to act: Paying the fee; sending documents; entering bank details. Red flags: You cannot win a draw you did not enter. A prize with a fee attached — real prizes cost nothing to claim. A 'giveaway' from a page that is not the brand's verified one. Where to report: Report Fraud; scam letters to Royal Mail, FREEPOST SCAM MAIL, or 0800 0113 466. Happening right now? Hang up or close the message first.

StreetOwl scam avoidance: Jobs & money mules. Job and 'task' scams. Also: work-from-home scam · app-review job · recruitment fee. What they want: Deposits from you, dressed as a job — or your identity documents. How it works: A WhatsApp or text from a 'recruiter' offers flexible work: liking videos, reviewing hotels, optimising apps, for £100 to £300 a day. The first tasks pay a few pounds, into your account, to prove it. The moment they push you to act: The first deposit to 'unlock' tasks; paying a training or check fee; sending identity documents. Red flags: A job offer you did not apply for, from a messaging app. Any job that asks you to pay in. Interviews only by chat; a company with no traceable address. Where to report: Report Fraud; JobsAware for job-related scams. Happening right now? Hang up or close the message first.
