Remember, please always exercise caution when reading emails, clicking links or opening attachments. Visit our page on protecting yourself against financial crime for guidance on how to spot a scam.
Don’t give out sensitive information - Legitimate companies will never ask you to reveal information such as your PIN or your account log in details. If you receive a request like this, end the call and call back on a number you know to be genuine
Exercise extreme caution when it comes to money - If a company asks you to pay upfront or advance fees or asks you to move money from one account to another, be extremely wary. Contact the company on a number or email you know to be genuine to verify the legitimacy of any request.
Don't click unfamiliar links or open emails - If you get an unexpected email or text from a company and something doesn’t quite feel right, trust your instinct. Never click links, open attachments or call a number if you are not 100% sure the communication is from a genuine source
Don’t bow to pressure - If someone is trying to rush you into action, take your time and don’t be afraid to challenge them.
