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.

Remember that criminals impersonate many different organisations. They can create realistic 'spoofed' websites to trick people into making payments and providing their personal and financial information. Remember to #StopChallengeProtect. Always ask yourself - could it be fake? https://t.co/D33fAPDOXZ

Where possible, use a credit card when making purchases over £100 and up to £30,000 as you receive protection under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act. It could help you get your money back if you are scammed. Remember to beware of "too good to be true" offers! #TakeFive https://t.co/kX38dugAYT

Criminals will use events such as the energy supplier situation as a cover story to scam you out of your money. They will attempt to get you to disclose personal or financial info and may offer to help switch supplier. Always #TakeFive #StopChallengeProtect https://t.co/j6i9b8qPBW
