How to protect yourself from potential scams?

Be suspicious. Scammers may seem like trusted businesses, have a professional website and say all the right things. Take your time to work out if they’re genuine. Ask them for ID or contact the organisation on a number you know and trust.

Here are some tips to keep safe online:

  • Keep your antivirus software updated.
  • Secure your online accounts.
  • Use strong, unique passwords for your email account - don't use the same password anywhere else.
