Share house scam alert
All websites get annoying scammers.If a place or person sounds too good to be true, pushy or suspicious - they are!
Three rules to help keep you safe:
- Never send money to someone without meeting them first.
- Don't provide your bank details.
- Don't provide your ID details without meeting someone face-to-face.
Be suspicious if someone wants your current address, a copy of your passport or your date of birth.
