Scam call
Romance, Crypto & Investment Cons
It can start with a wrong-number text, a dating match or a friendly message on social media. Over days or weeks the person becomes a friend or partner, then mentions a crypto platform making them rich, an investment tip or an emergency only you can help with. If someone you have never met in person brings money into the conversation, stop and talk to someone you trust.
What to do if this call comes in
- Keep your card number, PIN, passwords and any verification codes to yourself.
- Don't pay, send money or buy vouchers because someone on the phone said so.
- Hang up, then contact the organisation using details you've looked up yourself.
- Rate the number here so others are warned, and forward any linked texts to 7726.
