These are the social media scams to look out for and how to avoid them.
Scammers are always coming up with new ways to steal information and often money from unsuspecting people. Fraudsters often try to obtain account login credentials, personal information, or bank and credit card information.
As people struggle, criminals are capitalising on the cost of living crisis by targeting people with fake offers of support. Scammers also do this by faking a romantic interest, prize or job offers and charity pleas.
