Beware TV Scam

Message sent by

Action Fraud (Action Fraud, Administrator, National)

 

Fraudsters have created a high specification website template advertising flat screen televisions for sale which are below market value and do not exist. Payment is being requested via bank transfer and will offer no protection to the consumer when the television does not arrive.

Protect yourself:

  • Payments      made via bank transfer are not protected should you not receive the item.
  • Always      make payment via a credit card or PayPal where you have some avenue of      recompense should you not receive your product.
  • Conduct      some online research on the website, company name and business address to      identify any poor feedback or irregularities.
  • Check      the authenticity of websites before making any purchases. A ”whois” search      on the website will identify when the website has been created, so be wary      of newly formed domains. This search can be conducted using the following      website – https://who.is/
  • If      the item advertised seems too good to be true, it probably is

If you believe that you have been a victim of fraud you can report it online at http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/report_fraud or by telephone on 0300 123 2040.
