Keep your money secure by learning how you can act to avoid common types of fraud and scams.

Stay safe from scams: top tips

Remember these simple tips to avoid scams:

  1. Trust your instincts. If something feels wrong, it’s likely a scam.
  2. Check the source. Look for official contact details and type web addresses directly into your browser instead of clicking on links, attachments, or scanning QR codes.
  3. Keep your info private. Never share your bank details, passwords, or personal information. Remember, only criminals will ask you to move your money to a safe account.

Our scams in action page highlights the latest scam to keep an eye on. We update this regularly to help keep you safe.
