I can't believe I have only just noticed that we have a Scam Alerts sub-forum! But it's very useful, because I wanted to post a link to this story: Consumer Direct and Get Safe Online are warning that internet-based scams are on the rise. It's part of a campaign that they've launched warning people to be vigilant, and says that phishing, bogus foreign lotteries and advance fee scams are three of the most common online rip-offs.
I don't imagine this is news to many people on here, but always worth a reminder that not everywhere online is as friendly as What Consumer!
