Beware of rogue traders operating in the area. For example, in #Leatherhead on the 13th of Nov involved a cold call at a residential address where a price was agreed for some gardening work and the final price demand was disproportionately higher than that originally agreed.

Take Five

How to spot purchase fraud:

You’re offered a heavily discounted or considerably cheaper price – does it sound too good to be true?

You’re asked to pay by bank transfer instead of using the online platform’s secure payment options.

You receive an email receipt/invoice that appears to be genuine – but the email address domain doesn’t match that of the genuine senders.

The website that you’re purchasing from was only launched days/weeks ago.

Take your email security to another level.

Your email is where you keep your most personal and financial information.

If a cybercriminal accesses your email, they could:

·         access your other online accounts using the 'forgot password' feature (which often sends you an email)

·         access personal or business information and use this to scam you or people you know.
