Common Scams That Farmers NEED To Be Watching Out For!

Welcome back to Down on the Farm, today on the channel we are going to find out the 10 common scams for farmers to watch out for. Scammers are targeting farmers and agricultural businesses across Northern Ireland. Therefore, it is more important than ever to take extra precautions to avoid falling victim to fraud or a scam. To help, The Consumer Council has compiled a list of 10 common scams to watch out for and top tips on how to avoid them:

1. Invoice scams – This is where the farming community/businesses may receive an invoice to pay but scammers attempt to re-direct payments by posing as a legitimate supplier and often use company logos to make emails and invoices look genuine. Never send funds without verifying that the company is legitimate. If you have any doubts, contact the company on the official contact details listed on its website. 2. Investment scams – Scammers are tempting consumers to invest their money with an offer of high returns. This may be at particular times of the year when government support payments or subsidy payments are being provided to businesses working in rural communities. If you were contacted out of the blue then think – is it too good to be true? Bin it, delete it or hang up. Stay tuned for more common scams for farmers to watch out for.
