WEBSITE FRAUD AWARENESS

Consumer fraud awareness – sending money to someone you do not know.

Have you been asked to send money to someone you do not know? Please be very careful and consider the following before parting with any money:

If you are selling goods from an online auction site, do not accept payment through a Money Transfer Service provider. If a reference number is quoted to you as confirmation of funds to be sent, please phone the number on this website to verify the details.
Do not use the contact number given on the email.
Never send money to pay for taxes or fees on overseas lottery winnings.
If the deal seems to good to be true, then it usually is.

At CMT we like to put our customers first, and using the CMT service is a great way to send money to people you know and trust.

However, we have recently seen an increase in fraudsters, and criminals have tried to use money transfer services as a front for their fraudulent activity. They have done this by gaining the trust and confidence of the consumer in such scenarios as detailed above.

You should therefore be aware of putting yourself at risk of consumer fraud if you agree to send money to someone you do not know.
If in doubt, please contact CMT on 0800 015 6255 (free phone from UK) or +44 207 895 4245 (Overseas).
