We have observed a recent increase in investment scams using websites such as harmonyreel.net and apxcw.com. These sites may present attractive investment opportunities that are actually fraudulent.
Here's how to recognise these scams:
- Promises of High Returns with Low Risk: Be wary of investment schemes that guarantee high profits with little to no risk. Investments always carry some level of risk.
- Unsolicited Offers: Be cautious of investment offers that come out of the blue, especially if they pressure you to invest quickly.
If you have been affected by these scams:
- Report it: File a police report immediately. Provide all relevant information, including transaction details and communications with the scammers.
- Contact your bank: Inform your bank about the scam and ask them to freeze any suspicious transactions.
Remember to ACT against scams:
- Add security features to your online accounts, such as two-factor authentication.
- Check for scam signs and verify information with official sources.
- Tell authorities, family, and friends about scams.
