Stay safe and secure
Criminals use a wide range of methods to commit fraud and scams. So to keep yourself safe follow these five rules:
- Never disclose security detail, such as your PIN, full banking password or one time pass code to anyone even bank staff.
- Don't assume an email, text or phone call is authentic.
- Don't be rushed - a genuine organisation won't mind waiting.
- Listen to your instincts - you know if something doesn't feel right.
- Stay in control - don't panic and make a decision you'll regret.
Criminals are experts at impersonating people, organisations and the police. Stop and think. It could protect you and your money.
- 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 and rush or panic you.
- Protect: Contact your bank immediately if you think you've fallen for a scam and report it to the Action Fraud.
