Call You and Yours - How to spot a scam?
For BBC Scam Safe Week, we're asking how you spot a scam when it's happening to you? What were the red flags, and how did you spot them?
We hear about some devastating scams on You and Yours and we've discovered that it can happen to anyone. So today we're asking:
"How do you spot a scam?"
We want to hear from people who recognised the red flags in time to avoid being scammed. What were key warning signs that made you stop and think?
Scams are becoming ever more sophisticated so if you failed to spot the signs what is the one thing you wish you'd known before and what advice would you give to others?
Joining Shari Vahl will be Simon Miller from fraud prevention service Cifas and criminologist, forensic linguist, and BBC Radio 4's Scam Secrets expert Dr Elisabeth Carter with the latest advice and tips to scam-proof yourself for the future.
