Banks may contact you, but never share passwords, PINs, full security details, or one-time codes by phone, email, letter, or text. If asked to “verify” anything, stop immediately. Use the number on your card or banking app to contact your bank yourself.

Phishing emails are fake messages made to look real so you click a link, open an attachment, or share passwords, bank details, or codes. Check the sender carefully, do not rush, and never trust urgent threats, prizes, or security warnings.

Online scams

A criminal uses phishing emails, cloned websites, fake social media or dating profiles, and more to get your information.
