With so many scams out there, especially now as we face the end of the financial year and the pinned “How to spot a tax scam” post being nearly a year old, I’m going to pin this thread as a place to share advice regarding scams or any new scams you might have noticed.
This isn’t to say not to post scam related stuff in the main community but to create a place to keep track of scam related stuff which might get washed away over time.
@CameronDev Yeah it’s unfortunate. There’s no good solution I’ve found to sort genuine people from time wasters and scammers. I have so many people string along for hours with text messages and then end up wanting to do a bank transfer or have me send something somewhere or their brother will drop something off. It’s hard to sift the genuine from the dodgy. If i manage to talk to someone I quickly work out if they’re realistic and serious. It’s a hard problem.
