Ukash vouchers are very useful and convenient legitimate cards that people in 33 countries use everyday. They consist of a 19-digit code and can be used for both shops and online purchases.

The great thing about a Ukash voucher is that users don’t even need to have a bank account or a credit card in order to buy one for the amount desired. It is cash on a serial number.

However, scammers have come up with criminal strategies to victimize people, taking advantage of the convenience of the voucher. They call householders with all kinds of fake offers, sweepstakes, and prizes – and give the recipients the whole speech about “not needing a credit card or debit card”.

“We only take Ukash vouchers, for the safety of our customers”, they might say. Relieved by the fact that they don’t need to provide personal info or bank account numbers, several victims give their voucher code for phony registration fees, fines, or any other redeemable prizes.

How to avoid: never give your Ukash serial number to anybody. Ukash is… cash. You give it away…it is gone.
