In 2019, my dad was scammed out of most of his life savings, almost £150k. It was a life-changing moment for him and our family, for all the wrong reasons. In his case, he got most of the money reimbursed by the bank, however every year millions of people are scammed, billions of pounds are lost and lives are destroyed.

At Ask Silver, we build tools to protect people from scams and help financial institutions protect their customers. 

We have a Scam Checker to keep you and your loved ones safe. It's free for anyone to use and we've been on the BBC, ITV, The Times and most media outlets, as well as receiving awards from the FCA, National Cyber Awards and Try it out at www.ask-silver.com

For Financial Institutions, we're building the first Know-Your-Transaction (KYT) platform. Think KYC, but instead of ensuring it's a legitimate customer, we help ensure it's a legitimate transaction - not your customer being tricked.

On a professional level, I started my first business with my long-time friend Jonny at university in 2015. A few highlights are 1) we delivered hundreds of thousands of stories to children all around the world to inspire them to learn language, 2) we went from £0 to £1m a year in 18 months with a team of 4 (it was our third launch to be transparent) and 3) we were on Dragons’ Den (you can find the younger Alex and Jonny pitch on Youtube if you want to have a laugh)!

We’ve built other products with varying degrees of success as well as venture building for British Airways and some start ups.

On a personal level, I was raised in the words of Dusty Springfield a "son of a preacher man" in Latin America. I grew up bilingual Spanish and English, moved to the UK in 2008, but also lived in Italy, Denmark and Brazil. I’ve sunk hundreds of hours into learning chess openings and I probably listen to about 15-20 podcasts a week.

Fun fact, parking fine scams are in the top-20 types of impersonation on Ask Silver, mostly screenshots of text messages.

Over the past couple of weeks, users have been sending a new version to check...

At first glance, it might seem legit (if annoying – nobody likes a parking charge!).

But here’s a few interesting things we spotted: 

🌐 The barcode is just an image taken directly from Wikipedia
🔢 All of the letters we’ve seen have an identical reference number
🏠 The company address doesn’t exist
