Don\u2019t fall for the dodgy crypto currency traders<\/strong>
The leading crypto currency Bitcoin crashed this spring when Elon Musk said Tesla would no longer trade in them due to environmental considerations and the Chinese Government announced a crack-down on their trade.
Despite the fall in price many people have looked to invest in crypto currencies such as Bitcoin in the hope of realising their investment while the prices are low.
This is where the scammers move in by contacting people by email offering to set them up as traders and posing as legitimate companies with names similar to the best known outfits such as Blockchain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Fake BBC news stories help trick people into believing the scammers’ promises<\/strong>
They will offer to send you software for you to download and complete with your bank details and once you\u2019ve done this they simply take over your computer and begin by emptying your bank account. To get you to accept them as kosher they may send you \u2018news clippings\u2019 or fake BBC news stories showing celebrities such as Martin Lewis and Gordon Ramsay waxing lyrical about crypto currencies but these are fake.
Should you decide to trade with a legitimate company and open an online wallet there are further dangers as keeping thousands of pounds of currencies in an online wallet opens up the danger of pickpockets. They can guess you password and simply help themselves to your coins. The only way to be entirely safe is not to trade in these currencies \u2013 and if you do conduct exhaustive research – and only invest with what you can afford as they are a gamble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wedding venues that take your cash and go bust<\/strong>
With the Covid-19 restrictions many wedding venues were forced to close even though receptions had been booked and deposits paid. Surprisingly those deposits were not always repaid causing brides-to-be stress and considerable hardship having saved their hard-earned cash for the big day.
The BBC have reported on a string of such injustices. Monica Rimmer reported on Alisha Rehman who was battling to get a \u00a316,000 deposit back from Excellency Midlands and Russell Wallwork and Stacey Hurman who were \u00a39,000 out of pocket at Cadbury House near Bristol for a wedding last year. Then there was Jenny Maybury and Michael Bromwich who were fighting for a \u00a35,355 refund for a scratched September wedding at Abel\u2019s Harp near Shrewsbury, Shropshire, and Zlekha Suleman and Tahir Mahmood who paid a deposit of \u00a32,000 to The Sheridan Suite in Manchester.
Maariyah Arshad and her partner Asher Rehan, from Solihull, were due to marry last year at Excellency Midlands \u2013 and they struggled to get their deposit back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to spot a fake website<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every famous name with an\u00a0online business will have lookalike firms trading off their name \u2013 from\u00a0Amazon to Apple there are spoof operators hoping to fool you into using them. The aim of these lookalike companies is to guide your internet search to their website where they may offer similar purchases or worse still keep your cash. Both types can be checked out with a credit check with Checkaco to see if they are genuine. The trick is to\u00a0key in the full address of the company\u2019s website and not to go the one at the top of Google search. Look for the word Ad next to the website \u2013 these are often very similar to the one you are after with only a minor change to the name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The phoney printers who rip you off<\/strong>

Two year\u2019s ago Neill Stuart Malcolm John of Barry in Wales was banned by the Insolvency Service from being a director of a company after he ran a string of bogus online printing companies that ripped off self-publishers.
Scores of wannabe authors\u00a0were left out of pocket to the tune of hundreds of thousands of pounds over a period of three years before the business man was brought to book.
He and his partner in crime Clair Hunnisett took money up front from the public to print their books, magazines and pamphlets through a series of websites. They had names like The Book Printer, The Printing House and the Magazine Printer \u2013 with some names the same as legitimate companies. However, neither of the pair owned a printing press and they simply kept the money.
They were not the only ones involved in this scam which relies on gullible members of the public sending money up front to printers. If there is no contact address as to where the printing firm is located then immediately stop. In all events do a Checkaco as so many print companies are going bust as the market contracts.
