All work and no play makes jack a dull boy but make sure you stay #CyberSavvy when browsing, playing, buying & connecting online 💻📱🖥🎮

⚠️ Be weary of sharing you personal #data #online ⚠️

A seemingly harmless quiz (done due to #lockdown boredom) may actually help #scammers access your personal, online &/or #bank accounts. 🤭

**Don’t make it easier for them**

This month we are trying to raise awareness of a cruel fraud which targets the elderly

Remember ❗️

Just because someone knows a few basic details about you, it doesn’t mean they are genuine.

Fraudsters regularly use personal information to build trust.

[Cyber Savvy @Cyber_Savvvy]

Definitely suspicious 🤨

Here’s a few clues: 🧐
• Not personalised
• Used English, Swedish & Spanish
• I don’t have #Netflix
• Strange sender #email

❗️DON’T CLICK LINKS IN SUSPICIOUS EMAILS❗️

If in doubt, contact Netflix using their official #website 👩🏽‍💻

Be wary of investment scams carried out on bogus online trading platforms!

Professional-looking websites, adverts or social media posts don��t always mean that an investment opportunity is genuine: https://t.co/DicgIvU33g #ScamSmart

[Cyber Savvy @Cyber_Savvvy]

I don’t even have a @Barclays debit card 🤔 so I knew this was a #scam #phishing #email 🎣

Others clues:
• No personal info
• Very generic with no exact details
• Suspicious sender address

❗️Never click on embedded links in suspicious emails❗️
If in doubt, contact your #bank

[Cyber Savvy @Cyber_Savvvy]

If you have concerns that your computer might have a #virus consult a reputable company, such as @curryspcworld or @TeamKnowhowUK

If you’re worried about Internet access, call your #InternetServiceProvider on a number from their #website or your paperwork

If you’re doing Christmas shopping online whilst using outdated software and apps, you’re leaving the door open for cyber criminals.

Check your settings before you checkout. #fightfestivefraud

[Report Fraud @reportfrauduk]

Fraudsters use the Christmas rush to take advantage of people’s generosity. Think before you buy and #fightfestivefraud. If something seems like too much of a bargain, it’s probably poor quality, fake or doesn’t exist.

[Cyber Savvy @Cyber_Savvvy]
