Sending money internationally has never been easier, but as digital payments become more popular, so do scams targeting unsuspecting senders. Fraudsters use various tactics to deceive people into transferring money, often pretending to be banks, employers, or even loved ones in distress.<\/p>
To help you stay protected, we’ve outlined some of the most common and most recent money transfer scams happening around the world and how you can avoid them.<\/p>
North America: Phishing Emails & Emergency Scams<\/h2>
On the rise in North America, phishing scams involve fake emails and texts pretending to be from your bank or a trusted company, urging you to take urgent action. These messages often contain links to fake websites designed to steal your login details.<\/p>
Another common scam is the emergency scam, where fraudsters pose as a relative or friend in distress, claiming they need immediate financial help. They might say they’ve been in an accident, lost their wallet or need urgent bail money.<\/p>
Tip:<\/strong> Always verify the sender’s identity before transferring money. Contact your bank directly if you receive an email or message about an account issue.<\/i><\/p>
South America: Money Laundering & Recruitment Scams<\/h2>
Fraudsters in South America often lure victims with \"job opportunities\" that involve handling money transfers. They ask individuals to send or receive money on behalf of others — without realising they are laundering stolen funds.<\/p>
How to stay safe: Never agree to move money for someone you don’t know. If a job sounds too good to be true, it probably is.<\/p>
Europe: Overpayment & Fake Job Scams<\/h2>
In overpayment scams, scammers send money to victims, then claim they \"accidentally\" sent too much and request a partial refund. But after the victim sends money back, the original transaction is reversed, leaving them out of pocket.<\/p>
Another common scheme in Europe is the fake job scam, where fraudsters post fake job listings that require applicants to pay a \"training fee\" or “visa processing charge.”<\/p>
Tip:<\/strong> Legitimate employers never ask for money upfront. Avoid sending refunds for overpayments — wait for the funds to fully clear before taking action.<\/i><\/p>
Africa: Lottery Scams & Advance-Fee Fraud<\/h2>
In Nigeria and other parts of Africa, lottery scams and advance-fee fraud remain common. Scammers claim you’ve won a big prize but need to pay a \"processing fee\" to receive it. Similarly, some fraudsters pretend to be officials promising inheritance payouts — if you just cover some minor costs first.<\/p>
Tip: <\/strong>If you didn’t enter a lottery, you didn’t win. Never pay upfront fees for winnings or unexpected “inheritances.”<\/i><\/p>
Asia: Investment Fraud & Crypto Scams<\/h2>
Scammers in Asia frequently target victims with fake investment opportunities. Promising \"guaranteed high returns\", fraudsters often lure people into Ponzi schemes or fraudulent cryptocurrency platforms, stealing funds once deposits are made.<\/p>
Tip:<\/strong> Always research investment platforms before sending money. If returns sound too good to be true, they probably are.<\/i><\/p>
Australia: Fake Charity & Donation Scams<\/h2>
Fake charity scams are particularly common in Australia, especially after natural disasters. Scammers pose as aid organisations, soliciting donations that never reach the intended cause. Tip: Only donate through verified charities. Check official websites before sending money.<\/p>
How to protect yourself from money transfer scams<\/h2>
No matter where you are in the world, these scams can strike when you least expect them. Here are some golden rules to keep your money safe:<\/p>
Only send money to people you know and trust.<\/li>
Be cautious of urgent or emotional requests. Scammers create a sense of panic to make you act fast.<\/li>
Verify sources before making a payment. Contact your bank, employer or the organisation directly.<\/li>

Here’s everything you need to know about using promo codes, from where to find them to how to apply them, so you can make the most of your international transfers.
How to use a Paysend promo code
Follow these easy steps to claim your bonus:
1. Select recipient
2. Select how to deliver money to recipient - Enter recipient’s details - Enter amount you want to send
If it’s a fee-free Promo Code your zero fee will be applied automatically. If it’s a Bonus Promo Code, you’ll receive the bonus directly to your Paysend account once the transfer has been completed and the recipient has received their money.
Common questions about promo codes
How can I get a Paysend promo code?
At Paysend we occasionally share promo codes through our official communication channels, such as email and push notifications. These codes are sometimes sent at special times and celebrations to reward our much-valued customers and make your money transfers go further. If you’re looking for a promo code online, be cautious - promo codes shared by third parties or social media comments may not be valid or available for everyone. If you’re eligible for a promo code, you’ll receive it directly from Paysend.
Can I use promo codes at any time?
Promo codes are typically valid for a limited period, so it’s essential to check your email or push notification for the expiry date. Make sure to use your code before it runs out, so you don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy the bonus!
What if my promo code doesn’t work?
If your promo code isn’t working, here are some common reasons and fixes:
Incorrect entry: Promo codes are case-sensitive. Double-check that you’ve typed the code exactly as it appears in your email or push notification.
Expired code: Ensure the code is still valid by checking the expiry date.
Eligibility: Some promo codes are specific to certain users or regions. If you didn’t receive the code directly from Paysend, it might not be valid for your account.
If your promo code hasn’t expired but still doesn’t work, don’t worry. Our customer service team is here to help. Contact us through the Help Centre or the in-app support feature. They’ll investigate the issue and ensure you’re able to claim your bonus.
Enter your promo code carefully
When using a promo code, accuracy matters. Be sure to type the code exactly as it’s shown, including capitalisation. If you see an “Incorrect code” message, double-check your input and try again.
