Classified Ad sites targeting Ukash

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
