Stop

Taking a moment to stop and think before parting with your money or information could keep you safe.

Challenge

Could it be fake? It’s ok to reject, refuse or ignore any requests. Only criminals will try to rush or panic you.

Protect

Contact your bank immediately if you think you’ve fallen for a scam and report it to Action Fraud.

Booking a last minute break? Beware of “too good to be true” offers or prices – if it’s at a rock bottom price ask yourself why. It's best to use the secure payment options recommended by reputable online travel providers. #TakeFive #StopChallengeProtect🤚☝️👊 https://t.co/r1hCv6Xp7w
