Not a day goes by without reports of phone scam victims being blatantly scammed. The gangs’ actions are becoming increasingly brutal and numerous, making it difficult to keep an overview. We list the most insidious scams of the moment and tell you how you can immediately see that you are at risk of becoming a victim of a scammer.
