Do not engage- do not reply, click any links and/or share personal and financial details.

Register with your provider to avoid unwanted sales and marketing calls

Always use passkey and password for any telephone banking.

Stay informed and report any suspicious activity 

Keep software and apps to date and ensure use of antivirus software 

Stay safe on social media
