Beware of Scams & Fraud

Beware of Scams and Fraud that entice you to sign up online for a Draw or a Product Test which end up billing your Card or Account weekly or Monthly.

When signing up online for a free trial or product test, you may be agreeing to further weekly or monthly subscriptions in the ‘terms and conditions’ of the purchase, or the free item you are testing.

Top Tips for Subscriptions / Continuous Authorities

  1. Ensure you review the Merchant Terms & Conditions prior to agreeing to them, do not tick “Accept T&C’s” until you have read and understood them.
  2. Don’t sign up for a free offer unless you’re confident that you understand exactly what you’re agreeing to.
  3. Research online reviews of the Merchant if they are unknown or if you have not previously made a purchase from them.
  4. Don’t be enticed by celebrity endorsements or social media pop up’s. Scammers often use famous names and faces without authorisation.
  5. Ensure there is adequate ‘Contact Us’ details & beware of the cancellation policy in case of any follow up queries are required.
  6. Monitor your Current Account & Debit Card history regularly to see if you’re being charged for something you didn’t knowingly purchase.

Remember if it sounds too good to be true – it probably is!!
