🚨 Scams Are Rising Again – Especially Around Holiday Season! 🚨
Every year around holidays, scam activity spikes — and this year is no different...
People are more relaxed, spending more, and unfortunately that’s exactly what scammers rely upon.
At Law Clinic, we’ve now seen thousands of people affected by fraud — often with devastating consequences: bankruptcies, lost homes, broken relationships, and worse.
The good news is — most scams follow patterns.
If you know what to look for, you can spot them early 👇
🔍 Quick checks you should always do before dealing with anyone online:
➡️ Check how old their website is
If it’s only been live for days or weeks, that’s a major red flag
➡️ Investment offers = regulation required
In the UK, they must be authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority if you are in the UK
In Ireland, by the Central Bank of Ireland (if you are based in Ireland)
If they’re not — they are operating illegally, no matter what they tell you!
➡️ Ask for ID and a contact number
A legitimate business will not hesitate
➡️ If they cold-call you — ask how they got your details
If they can’t answer clearly, walk away
➡️ Check reviews properly
No reviews (or fake-looking ones) = warning sign
➡️ Check the website itself
No terms & conditions or privacy policy? Avoid
➡️ Watch for “clone companies”
Scammers often impersonate real businesses using genuine documents
If in doubt, contact the real company directly using their official number
đź’ł Payment matters more than people realise...
If you pay by credit card, you have stronger protection
If you paid by bank transfer, your bank may still be liable — but only if you haven’t ignored warnings or acted recklessly
Even outside the UK, many banks have protection mechanisms — but how you approach them matters
A weak or rushed complaint often fails. A structured one stands a far better chance - which we can help with!
