Be Wary of ‘Free Online Courses’

The Cyber Security Centre for the Isle of Man is warning the public to be vigilant of a scam which offers free online courses.

The latest scam offers ‘Free Online Courses’ and uses a government department’s logo.

People are warned to be ‘very wary’ of any new and unfamiliar adverts that seem enticing.

Cyber Security also tells people to not make payments or provide personal information unless you’re sure that an advert is genuine.

Report scam advertisements to Facebook and then also to the Cyber Security Centre here.
