So, here’s some info to help you be #ScamAware

Identifying scams

Citizens Advice wants to give you the knowledge you’ll need to recognise different scams, and show you how, if you think you’re being targeted, to stop and seek advice on what to do next.

Make sure you know about changes to Covid-19 restrictions in Wales

➡️If it’s unexpected
➡️If you’re being urged to respond or pay for
➡️something urgently or in an unusual way
➡️If you’ve been asked to give away personal info

You can find more about this on their website.
