Spot the signs and tactics of fraud:
Phone and voicemail
Ignore calls from unknown numbers that claim to come from reputable sources, like banks, but are requesting urgent money transfers or threatening government, police or legal action.
Computer
Don’t be lured by technology support or fake ads. Downloading files or entering your banking details on suspicious websites may expose your computer to malware or viruses.
Text
Delete texts from unknown numbers that ask you for a payment or offer to deposit money, like a tax refund, into your account with strange links.
Email
Fraudulent emails use logos from companies like bank to look legitimate. Check the sending address and look for spelling errors, lack of personalization and urgent requests for money or information.
