Hey there, folks! If you’re over 56 or know someone who is, listen up! There’s an urgent warning from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) about scammers on the loose. These fraudsters are pretending to be the FCA and have already duped nearly 480 people this past year. 😡

Here’s what’s happening: Scammers are contacting consumers claiming that the FCA has recovered funds from illegal crypto wallets or offering to help reclaim money lost in dodgy loan scams. But instead of helping, they trick people into handing over bank details, passwords, and even more money! 😠

What’s more, these con artists are emailing people about fake County Court Judgments, claiming you owe money and need to pay the FCA. 🚨

A staggering two-thirds of reports have come from individuals aged 56 and up, making them prime targets. Don’t get caught out! Remember, the real FCA will NEVER ask for your bank account PINs, passwords, or request you to transfer money. If something feels off, always double-check!

Steve Smart from the FCA puts it simply: “Fraudsters are ruthless. Stay vigilant and protect your money.” 💪

Let’s spread the word and keep our communities safe! If you suspect you’ve been approached by a scammer, report it immediately.

Stay safe, everyone! 💙
