Scammers normally target your emotions. Something will seem to be urgent, secure or provide quick profits.
If a message creates an urgent situation and contains words like “immediately”, “urgently” or “10 minutes” – stop, call the person or institution at their official number and verify them.
Never share your PIN, CVC or OTP and never install an app if someone asks you to do it.
“Profit guaranteed” and “no risk” do not belong in the same sentence.
You can become a target as well: fake ads, free trial subscriptions and sponsored fake shops count on speed and your fear of missing out (FOMO).

Simple steps to help you recognize scams and protect your information and money.
Never share your documents, card data or private information on the internet or on social networks.
Find the https, avoid public Wi Fi networks and be careful with offers that “sound too good to be true”.
Never respond impulsively to messages or calls that involve urgency – fake family members, “couriers” or a “bank” often demand that you act quickly.
Never send your money or information to strangers – whether they offer you a “prize”, tell you a “romantic story” or promise “investments” or “quick profits”.
Notify the Bank and the police and never surrender your cards, cash or PIN to a person asking you to provide them.
