To protect yourself from fraud, always think carefully about who you’re sending money to. Generally, you should only send money to friends and family you know and trust. Never send money to someone you’ve not met in person, or for an unconfirmed emergency.
We want to help you protect your money and details. We’d advise you not to proceed with a money transfer:
For a purchase you’ve already made online
For anti-virus protection software
To claim lottery or prize winnings
To pay your taxes
To donate to charity
To resolve an immigration matter
To pay for goods or services from someone who recently tried to sell you something over the phone
