Joseph (not his real name) had run his own business for years and had built up a tidy sum in savings for retirement.
He planned to use the money to buy a mortgage-free bungalow for him and and his wife to live out the rest of their days.
In a bid to top-up those savings he was drawn into investing online - a move into cryptocurrency trading that left him at the mercy of suspected fraudsters and drained his life savings... handing over more & more money, eventually losing more than £250,000...
Criminals are experts at impersonating people, organisations and the police. They spend hours researching you for their scams, hoping you’ll let your guard down for just a moment. Stop and think. It could protect you and your money.
