It sounded like her son. It wasn't.

AI voice clones need only a few seconds of audio. If a loved one calls in a panic asking for money, hang up and call back on the number you already have.

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. Money sent: call 159 · Scam text: forward to 7726 · Report Fraud · Scotland: 101. streetowl.co.uk/scam-avoidance-database, 2 Oct 2026.

Most scams are not recognized by a phrase or a logo. They are recognized by pressure that tries to stop you from verifying.

Urgency, secrecy, impersonation, unusual payment: pause, end the contact, and check through a separate channel.

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. Money sent: call 159 · Scam text: forward to 7726 · Report Fraud · Scotland: 101. streetowl.co.uk/scam-avoidance-database, 1 Oct 2026.

I never gave my money directly to anyone.
I never used an unknown account.

And yet, I fell victim to an investment scam.

I turned my experience into a comic.

StreetOwl scam avoidance: Jobs & money mules. Job and 'task' scams. Also: work-from-home scam · app-review job · recruitment fee.

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.

I accepted the mystery friend request on The Facebook… and now Amy is asking questions. 😂

Where do I live? What do I do? Do I have a disability? 🤔

Innocent curiosity—or is this going somewhere?
