Scam Warning

Beware of any scams that might misrepresent us by claiming to offer discounts, offers, emails, gift cards or vouchers from Books for Caterpillars. 

Common methods used by scammers would be to make contact with you, to lure you into divulging personal information about yourself, to deceive you into believing they are representing us so that you might share your financial information or banking account details with them.  Please be mindful of the following methods scammers often use:

  • Asking you to click on a link that directs you to a malicious website.
  • Receiving an email and a link claiming to be from us.
  • Asking you to call a specific phone number and person that is pretending to be us, or a staff member from Books for Caterpillars.

  • Receiving a letter, advertisement in your letterbox or postal box that is claiming to be us.
  • Asking you to give your debit/credit card details, bank account numbers, or contact details to them.
  • Paying a shipping fee for a free gift or voucher.
