Today's online and interconnected world is constantly evolving and can be a tricky place to navigate. Unfortunately, online fraud is constantly evolving too, long gone are the emails of Princes moving money out of a country and offering you a regal sum for your help.
Now more sophisticated ways exist with the sole aim of getting your bank details and taking your hard-earned savings. Recruitment agencies around the world are often targeted to extract bank details or money from unsuspecting people by way of a guaranteed job offer.
How to protect yourself:
The simplest way to protect from any kind of fraud is to contact the company directly via its registered phone number, postal address, email address and website. Paying special attention to the website and email address e.g. www.bankofamerica.com is the US bank and www.bankofamericabank.com is not and could likely be fraud.
