STOP AND THINK
- Requests to move money: A genuine bank or organisation will never contact you out of the blue to ask for your PIN, full password or to move money to another account. Only give out your personal or financial details to use a service that you have given your consent to, that you trust and that you are expecting to be contacted by.
- Clicking on links/files: Don’t be tricked into giving a fraudster access to your personal or financial details. Never automatically click on a link in an unexpected email or text.
- Personal information: Always question uninvited approaches in case it’s a scam. Instead, contact the company directly using a known email or phone number.
TOO SMART TO BE SCAMMED?
Think again. Most people think they wouldn’t fall for a fraudulent text or email, but criminals are more sophisticated than ever. Take our test to see if you can find the fraud and know when it’s time to say ‘My money? My info? I don’t think so’.
