Polar Pay cares about keeping your money safe. In response to the ongoing occurrence of fraudulent activities in the market, we are dedicated to help preventing fraud. We firmly believe that preventing fraud is a collective responsibility. To assist you in recognizing signs of fraud and safeguarding yourself, we provide the following common fraud warnings and precautions.
Identity Theft
Identity thieves exploit personal information, such as identity card numbers, bank account details, and credit card numbers, to assume the identity of unsuspecting individuals and carry out fraudulent activities. They engage in a wide range of illicit activities, such as opening fraudulent credit accounts, depleting funds from existing accounts, filing false tax returns, obtaining medical coverage under false pretenses, applying for loans or mortgages in the victim's name, and making unauthorized purchases or transactions.
Email Scam
Email scams, also known as phishing, involve scammers impersonating legitimate organizations or individuals to deceive recipients into revealing sensitive information. These deceptive emails may contain urgent requests or enticing offers, aiming to trick recipients into taking actions that benefit the scammers. Some scams involve stealing the counterpart's email and instructing victims to transfer money to the fraudster's account. It is important to exercise caution and verify email authenticity before sharing personal or financial information.
Romance Scam
Scammers actively seek out potential victims on social media platforms and, once they establish a connection, they quickly pursue an online romantic relationship. Through manipulation and deceit, they invent various reasons to extract money from their victims. It's important to note that these scammers and their victims never meet face-to-face. Moreover, some scammers exploit their victims by fostering ambiguous relationships and then enticing them to invest in fake platforms. Initially, victims may experience modest returns, but as they invest more money, they eventually face substantial losses.
Internet Purchase Scam
Scammers employ websites or online classified platforms to promote non-existent items like mobile phones, event tickets, or cars. Caution is advised when considering sending money in response to an online advertisement.
Fake Cheque Scam
Scammers often deceive victims by making payments with fake (counterfeit) cheques and falsely asserting that the funds have been deposited, with the intention of pressuring victims to promptly fulfill contracts or agreements. However, these fraudulent cheques bounce at a later time, resulting in financial losses for the victims.
Advanced Fee Scam
Scammers disguise themselves as legitimate organizations or businesses and entice unsuspecting victims with the promise of valuable benefits such as loans, credit cards, grants, investments, or inheritance money. To secure these supposed benefits, the victims are required to pay upfront fees. However, once the victim sends the requested payment through a money transfer service, they never receive the promised item or service. In reality, the loans, credit cards, grants, investments, or inheritance sums that were promised never existed. Once the scammers obtain the money, they vanish without a trace, cutting off all contact with the victim.
