Criminals may advertise products on auction sites at rock-bottom prices using fake payment pages to obtain your personal/financial info. Shop savvy and read online reviews to ensure websites are legit. Use the payment methods recommended by reputable online retailers. #TakeFive

Looking for a cheap deal on a new set of wheels? Unfortunately, if the deal sounds too good to be true – it probably is. Criminals offer low prices and ask you to make payments by bank transfer. Taking a moment to stop and think can keep you and your money safe. #TakeFive

Booking tickets for the festive season this year? If you plan on buying tickets anytime soon remember to beware of offers or prices that look too good to be true. Book tickets directly through official sellers who are members of @STARticketing #TakeFive

Where possible, use a credit card when making purchases over £100 and up to £30,000 as you receive protection under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act. It could help you get your money back if you fall for fraud. Remember to beware of "too good to be true" offers. #TakeFive
