Campaign
Scots have been warned to be aware of ‘catfishing’ romance fraud in the run-up to Valentine’s Day. Advice Direct Scotland, which runs the national consumer advice service consumeradvice.scot, has launched a new campaign highlighting the tactics used by scammers to exploit situations of loneliness or isolation of their targets.
The NCSC are urging individuals to protect their personal accounts, check before they buy, and use secure payment methods to stay ahead of the threat from criminals this shopping season.
