Criminals are posting advertisements for goods that don't exist
on sites such as Gumtree and Vivastreet. They ask you to send Ukash
by email in payment but no goods are supplied. These sites are
known to be used by criminals operating scams: http://www.gumtree.com www.vivastreet.co.uk but they may be using other
similar sites. They may also set-up fake websites and email
accounts that appear to be Ukash.
- Only spend Ukash online and at genuine merchants listed at www.ukash.com/spend
- Never email vouchers or give voucher codes in full or part by
email or over the telephone to anyone as you will lose your
money
- Ukash advice is never to provide any voucher details to a
third-party by any method as it should be treated just like
cash
- The Ukash product is not designed for person to person or
Escrow payments; it should only be used for making payments online
at Participating Ukash Merchants
- Participating Ukash Merchants will never ask for payment to be
made by sending voucher details over the telephone or by
email
