What to do if something goes wrong
Act promptly, preserve evidence and use verified help channels.
- If money or payment details are at risk, contact your bank or card provider immediately using its official app, website or the number on your card.
- If you shared a password, change it on the genuine service and anywhere else you reused it. Secure your email account and enable two-step verification where available.
- Save relevant messages, transaction references and screenshots privately. Do not send more money to someone promising to recover a lost payment.
- Follow the NCSC guidance to report suspicious messages. Suspicious emails can be forwarded to report@phishing.gov.uk; use its current guidance for other reporting routes.
- Report the post on Ways2Earn or contact support for a private-message concern. Include the post or conversation reference and a factual explanation, without passwords or identity documents.
Reporting to Ways2Earn does not replace contacting your bank or the relevant authorities.
