The stake you place on behalf of the expert acts as your fee. All you have to do is send him his winnings whilst also placing your own bets. Or, in another scam, you’re invited to use your own money to place bets on behalf of an ‘expert’ who claims they can beat the bookies.
Perhaps you’ve been told you’re going to get ‘inside information’ sent to you in return for a fee. Have you ever been offered a ‘foolproof’ bet, maybe for a subscription fee. It’s good to understand just how much they know about you.Īnd gambling is an area where scammers prey on victims only too willing to listen out for an ‘exclusive’ tip or something that makes them believe they can come out on top. The gambling companies suck in enormous amounts of personal data from anyone that uses them. The ads are often placed around major sporting events, football, rugby, cricket, F1 and so on. You can see how big it is just from how many ads appear on TV and radio, full of smiley, happy people on a big winning streak.
