HOW TO AVOID THE LATEST SOPHISTICATED SCAMS IN 2020

We always think we’re immune from scams – but as they get more sophisticated and convincing, anyone can fall foul of them. This is an example of one of the many scams out there:

Much like the courier scam, the main thing to remember is that Amazon won’t ever call you to confirm your account details. If you’ve received a suspicious phone call from ‘Amazon’:

 1.      Don’t give out any personal information to the caller.

2.      Hang up straight away. 

3.      Report the phone call to Action Fraud.

 You might also receive emails asking you to share your personal details or to click on a link to your account. If you’re not expecting communication from Amazon, treat any email from them as suspicious. You can forward any suspicious email to spoofing@amazon.com and make sure you don’t click anything inside the email – links, buttons, or images! If the email is, in fact, legitimate, Amazon will be sure to let you know. If you are worried about fraud personally or in your company and or you suspect foul play then why not hire a forensic accountant. A forensic account will apply the application of accounting techniques to legal disputes. 

Anyone can hire a forensic accountant if they have a financial dispute or if they want to know the potential downside or upside to a financial decision. Forensic accountants are often hired by individuals, companies and lawyers.
