Your personal information is a target for scammers, but you can stay safe with these tips:
-
If a call feels wrong, hang up, and don’t give unknown people access to your computer or device
-
Be careful when clicking on links in texts and emails
-
If you’ve lost your card, block it immediately either through the app or calling your bank
-
Protect your banking by using strong passwords and PINs
-
If you’re shopping online, the site may not be secure if there are spelling errors, excessive pop-ups and ads, and if the site starts with http (you can check for a padlock icon next to the URL)
Some common scams you might see are:
-
Postage text message scams asking you to pay for a parcel to be delivered
