Scam of the day: Bogus officials and distraction burglary.

What they want: Entry to your home, and whatever cash and valuables are in it.

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

#ScamAwareness #FraudPrevention

StreetOwl scam avoidance: Doorstep & home. Bogus officials and distraction burglary. Also: water board · gas leak in the street · council survey. What they want: Entry to your home, and whatever cash and valuables are in it. How it works: A caller with a lanyard says they are from the water company, the gas board, the council or the police, and needs to check your taps, meter or garden. While one talks, another searches. A variation asks you to help with a 'lost ball' or 'sick child' next door. The moment they push you to act: Opening the door and letting them in, or leaving it open while you are distracted. Red flags: No appointment. Genuine utility visits are booked, and callers wait outside while you phone the company on the number on your bill. Two callers, or one who keeps you at the back of the house. Where to report: 999 if they are still there, 101 afterwards. 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, 15 Oct 2026.

Scam of the day: Loan fee fraud.

What they want: An 'admin', 'insurance' or 'first repayment' fee for a loan that never arrives.

Red flag: Guaranteed approval.

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. Loan fee fraud. Also: advance-fee loan · guaranteed loan · loan insurance. What they want: An 'admin', 'insurance' or 'first repayment' fee for a loan that never arrives. How it works: You apply for a loan online, or are called after a search, and are approved at once regardless of credit history. Before the money can be released a fee is due — by transfer, or in vouchers. Then a second fee. The lender may quote a real firm's FCA number. The moment they push you to act: Paying the fee, usually £25 to £450, sometimes several times. Red flags: A fee before the loan is paid out, especially by voucher or transfer. Guaranteed approval. Contact details that do not match the FCA register. Where to report: The FCA and Report Fraud. 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, 14 Oct 2026.

Scam of the day: Money mule recruitment.

What they want: Your bank account, to move stolen money through — making you the launderer.

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

#ScamAwareness #FraudPrevention

StreetOwl scam avoidance: Jobs & money mules. Money mule recruitment. Also: easy money for your bank account · squares · receive and forward. What they want: Your bank account, to move stolen money through — making you the launderer. How it works: Someone offers cash to use your account — a friend of a friend, a post on Snapchat or Instagram, a 'job' as a payment agent. Money arrives, you keep a cut and send the rest on, or hand over your card and PIN. The money is the proceeds of the other scams on this page. The moment they push you to act: Receiving the first payment and forwarding it, or handing over the card. Red flags: Anyone wanting to pay money into your account for you to move on. A job with no work except receiving payments. Where to report: Tell your bank at once and stop. Crimestoppers takes anonymous reports. Happening right now? Hang up or close the message first.
