Dear Kent Residents

A Kent resident lost several thousand pounds after paying for an online course linked to a money-making scheme they found on social media. Following the first ‘mentoring session’, they felt misled and asked for a refund — but it was refused.

🚨 If you're promised high returns that seem too good to be true, they probably are.

✅ Don’t engage — if you’ve already started chatting, end the conversation.
✅ Always research the business. Don’t trust reviews they show you — they could be fake.

☎️ Need advice or want to report a scam? Call the Citizens Advice consumer helpline on 0808 223 1133.

Together we can create a safer community and protect ourselves from the threat of scams.

For scam alerts as they are issued please add us on Instagram or Facebook.

Thank you.
