Were you expecting this call, email or offer? Take a second, breathe, and think. Does this feel right? If in doubt, don’t act.

 

 

Have you been asked to respond to something urgently such as a delivery notification or request for bank details? Before actioning, take some time to think through whether this is a legitimate piece of correspondence. If you’re unsure, ask someone you can trust.

Always navigate to the organisation’s website yourself to log in.
