🚨 Been Scammed? Act Fast! 🚨 |
||
|
Cyber criminals can contact you by email, text message, phone call or social media, often pretending to be someone or an organisation you trust. If you've been tricked into sharing personal information, taking quick action can help reduce the impact: ✅ Shared bank or card details? - Contact your bank immediately and let them know. ✅ Think an account has been hacked?- Look for signs such as messages being sent from your account that you didn't send, or being locked out of your account. Follow the provider's account recovery process as soon as possible. ✅ Received the scam on a work device? - Report it to your IT department, security team, or line manager straight away. ✅ Clicked a suspicious link, downloaded something, or installed suspicious software? - Run a full antivirus scan and allow it to remove any threats it finds. ✅ Shared a password?- Change it immediately and if you've used the same password on any other accounts, change those too. Please DO NOT use the same password across several accounts. Each online account should have its own unique password. Where available, set up two-step verification (2SV) also known as multi-factor authentication (MFA). 🔒 Remember: Criminals often use personal information found online and on social media to make their scams more convincing. Review your privacy settings and think carefully about the personal information you share online. Stop. Think. Check.
