Protect yourself against scammers



Don't respond: Ignore suspicious emails, letters, house visits, phone calls or SMS - press delete, throw them out, shut the door or just hang up.



Watch out for slick tricks: Scammers use sophisticated tricks to fool you such as fake websites, glossy brochures, technical jargon or posing as someone that you know and trust - dont fall for them!



Dont let scammers push your buttons: Scammers will play on your emotions to get what they want.



Protect your identity: Your personal details are private and invaluable - keep them that way and away from scammers.
