Dont let them take you money or identity away!
Be suspicious of all unsolicited, texts, emails, phone calls, and callers at your door. Never give any bank or personal details over the phone and ignore text and emails from people you dont know or dont expect to hear from.
We unfortunately live in a world where frauds and scams are becoming an every day occurrance, and keeping up to date with the latest is an almost impossible task.
