Three simple steps to keep us all safe from scams.
-
Stop.
If a call, email, or text feels wrong – stop and take a breath. A genuine organisation wouldn’t pressure you to act immediately. If you’re not sure, say ‘no’, hang up, or delete. -
Check.
Do you know who you are talking to? Verify the details first and only contact organisations using contact information that you find yourself from their official website or app. -
Protect.
Act quickly and contact your bank if you notice unusual activity or if a scammer gets your money or information. Report it to Scamwatch and help keep others safe.
