Yes. Some common scenarios include:

• Being required to pay a fee before receiving a loan.
• Sweepstakes, prize, or lottery company representatives who tell you to transfer money to them in order to claim a prize you’ve won (there are many companies running fraudulent contests. They require you to transfer them money but give you nothing in return).
• Unsolicited letters or e-mails from Nigeria or other foreign government officials requesting assistance to transfer funds from a foreign country into your bank account.
• Telephone calls from the police claiming someone you know has been in an accident or arrested and money is needed.
• Unsolicited letters or e-mails offering an unrealistic price for expensive or difficult to find items.
• Money transfers as proof of funds in order to secure overseas accommodation.
