Stop

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

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.

Criminals trick you into parting with your money by making you believe that you’re investing with a genuine investment firm.

Be wary of deals/offers that seem too good to be true. Criminals set up fake sites offering ‘cheap travel deals’ which are used to obtain your money & info. Before making any purchases, ensure you do your research by reading reviews of the site you’re buying from. #TakeFive https://t.co/m220TL9diq

If you're yet to complete the #Census2021 make sure you do so as soon as possible, otherwise you could receive a visit from a census field officer.

Criminals are continuing to send fake texts and emails supposedly from the NHS claiming your eligibility to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Remember: the vaccine is free of charge & any approaches that require you to provide your personal/financial details are a scam #TakeFive https://t.co/cI4FN7rkbp
