Online scams

Online scams are a menace. They can also appear with the word “sponsored” above the web address - something else to be wary of! We got caught out by one of those a while ago.

The company appeared to be one we’d used before but on closer inspection the web address was slightly different to the real one (a lower case letter instead of a capital if I recall). The bank sorted it out thankfully. We’ve spotted a number of subtly different web addresses since and always double check!
