These videos were produced for HSBC's Fraud campaign, "Fraud: Don’t miss a trick" highlighting how fraudsters use scams.
📱Phone scams
Phone scams, or vishing, are when a fraudster calls pretending to be your bank or another trusted organisation. They can even make their call appear to come from a number you know and trust. This is known as Phone Number Spoofing.
🖱️Online scams
Online fraud is on the increase. Fraudsters use sophisticated tactics to access your financial details and passwords, creating bogus links, retailer web pages, as well as fake pop-ups.
💔Romance scams
A Romance scam is when somebody you have never met in person pretends to have feelings for you and then tricks you into sending gifts or money.
