Following are the tips that will help keep your money safe from fraudsters and scams.
Double check: Is the person you're paying to really who they say they are? If you receive an unexpected call from your bank, government institute or another organization, hang up the phone, search their official number through web search and call them back. If you received an email asking to transfer money from a friend, your landlord or someone else, try contacting them by a different method. Fraudsters can spoof phone numbers and make their emails look legitimate.
Urgent requests: Fraudsters often create a sense of urgency, pressuring you to act quickly without thinking.
Too good to Be True: Be skeptical of offers that seem too good to be true. Always verify the legitimacy of such offers.
Request for payment: Never send money to someone you don't know, especially if they request payment through unconventional methods like gift cards or cryptocurrency.
Shop with retailers that are reputable and reliable. As a rule of thumb, their website URLs should start with https. not http. Look for a padlock icon before the website name indicating that the site is secured with a digital certificate.
Never divulge PINs, passwords, one time passcodes or personal details over the phone or to an online chat support.
Read online reviews to check websites and sellers are genuine, and ask to see high value items in person or via video, as well as getting copies of documentation to ensure the seller owns the item.
Always access the website you’re buying from by typing it into your web browser. Don’t follow links in unsolicited emails or texts.
