Time and again, I hear that it takes forever. It only takes a minute to scam someone, so if something is up for a couple of weeks, a great deal of damage could be done to many households.

There are different types of scam. Interestingly, investment scams hit people the heaviest. People could be €100,000 or more out of pocket. If I googled, “Best savings rate Ireland”, are the top three sponsored ads all legitimate?
