Royal Mail isn’t emailing attachments for missed deliveries. If an email says you missed a parcel and tells you to download something to reschedule, it’s a scam. #PhishingScams #EmailScams #ScamAlert #ScamAdviser

There’s a text going around claiming to be from EE, saying you’ve got thousands of EE Points to redeem. It’s a scam. The link leads to a fake EE site, and the “points expiring” line is just pressure to make you click.#TextScams #PhishingScams #PhoneScams #ScamAdviser #ScamAlert

Wrong Number Scam! These texts are everywhere, and replying (even politely) just confirms your number is active. Inviting more spam and a fake “friendly chat” that turns into a scam. Don’t reply. Don’t engage. Report it. #WrongNumberScam #ScamAdviser #TextScam #SMS #PhoneScams

Holiday shopping is great… until a “90% OFF” deal turns into Where’s my package? 😬 Quick rules: • Unreal deal? Skip it. • Don’t tap delivery texts. • Social ads = double-check. • Type the retailer’s URL yourself. ➡️ https://t.co/sZfB1KCc7J

Scammers really think a “Scratch Card Advent Calendar” is the way to win people over this season 😂🎁 Anything pretending to be from “People’s Postcode Lottery” and asking for a survey is a scam. Don’t reply, report, and block 🚫📱#Scams #HolidayScams #LotteryScams #SurveyScam

Now scammer… you really expect me to believe my Apple Pay paid $215.45 for premium illegal content? 😭 With your fake TXN ID and “call this number to cancel” trap? Nice try. If you get this text, don’t call; that’s the whole scam. #ScamAlert #ApplePay #Smishing #ScamAdviser

5/5 Strange policies are a big red flag. If a site wants you to pay to return faulty items, hides its return address, or only accepts crypto or gift cards… that’s not a store, that’s a setup. Stick to sellers with clear terms and safe payment options. #BlackFriday #ScamAdviser

4/5 Go to the reviews. Are they real or just staged? If a site shows a shiny 4.9★ rating but other websites say “No Reviews Yet,” that’s a red flag. Scam sites love to exaggerate their own feedback. #BlackFriday #OnlineShopping #BlackFridayScams #Shopping #OnlineShoppingScams

3/5 Go to their About Us page, copy any phrase, and search it on Google with " " marks. If it pops up on other sites, that’s your warning sign 🚨 Copied photos or descriptions usually mean the whole shop is copy-paste #BlackFriday #OnlineShipping #BlackFridayScams #ScamAdviser

2/5 If an online shop only gives you 📧Gmail, Hotmail, or Outlook emails… run. Real stores don’t hide behind free accounts. Before you buy, check the contact info; it could save you money. #BlackFriday #OnlineShopping #BlackFridayScams #Shopping #OnlineShoppingScams #ScamAdviser

1/5 This Black Friday, not every deal is a deal — some are a setup. That “80% off Flash Sale” shouting Hurry, Hurry! feels exciting… but is it a real bargain, or just the hook scammers use to reel people in? Watch Out #BlackFriday #OnlineShopping #BlackFridayScams #Shopping
