BEWARE OF CROOKS!
Please watch out for what is known as the
"Deposit and Refund Scam".
NEVER respond to a request to refund money unless you are absolutely sure it is not a fake cheque.
Also do not automatically trust people who use Merle or Jozikids as a reference. This is how the scam works:
- You receive a call from someone claiming to come from a children's home or any other company requesting services for children,
- they ask for an invoice,
- they then deposit much more money into your bank account than you invoiced them for with a fake cheque,
- they ask for a refund,
- you pay them,
- their cheque bounces and they get your money.
DO NOT PAY ANYTHING. IF YOU DO, THEY WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY!
