Practical tips to help to keep yourself secure

Be alert to the fact that scams exist.

Know who you are dealing with. If you’ve only ever met someone online or are unsure of the legitimacy of a business, take some time to do a bit more research. 

Do not open suspicious texts, pop-up windows, or click links or attachments from suspicious emails – just delete them. 

Do not respond to phone calls about your computer asking for remote access – just hang up.

Be careful when shopping online.

Review your privacy and security settings on social media and choose your passwords carefully – try to avoid utilising any personal information.

Beware of any request for your details or money.

Keep your personal details, mobile devices, and computers secure.

Be wary of unusual payment requests or payment methods.
