Kent Trading Standards: If it looks like an email scam, it probably is...

May 23, 2009 5:49 PM

Kent Trading Standards has received of a number of complaints relating to unsolicited emails offering consumers the chance to make additional income by having money transferred into their account which they then forward to another account after taking a cut themselves. This then allows the scammer to access the consumer's bank account, which can result in the loss of large amounts of money.

Kent Trading Standards strongly advise consumers to steer clear of adverts offering additional source of income, in particular involving the transfer of money between third parties, as this is likely to be linked with large scale fraudulent scams.

For more information on these type of scams, please see http://www.met.police.uk/fraudalert/419.htm
