Be Aware of Money Frauds ans Scams





Check that your money goes directly to investment

When using a financial adviser to invest your money, you must be sure that the investment you choose – such as a unit trust or money market fund – is recognised by the Security Exchange Board of India  and that your money goes directly into your chosen fund and not into your adviser’s bank account.

Check your Credit Card Statements regularly
Recent widespread scams have involved small, unauthorized charges on credit cards that are easily overlooked by cardholders.“Scammers hope that consumers will overlook the small charge on their monthly statements or not review the statements at all,
Consumers should closely review their monthly credit card statements. If you find an unauthorized charge on your statement, immediately contact your financial provider (using the number on the back of the credit card) to report the fraud and to request a new card.
