Year after year the number of scam victims increases. A multitude of frauds and scams exist and it is not always easy to avoid such traps.

Communication technology has contributed to the development of global scams, but the crooks also continue to make contact by mail or by traditional phone calls. In most cases, fraudsters hide their identity to avoid being found by national authorities fighting against fraud.

Our advice:

• Be careful when you are contacted anonymously and take care with virtual meetings.
• Beware of easy money and free services.
• Always take the time to think before signing a contract, before using a service and before sending any money.
