What should I do if I suspect someone is trying to scam me?

If you receive suspicious texts, pop-up browser windows or emails – delete them right away. If you receive a suspicious email, letter or phone call, from an organisation you are familiar with (for example, your bank), try contacting them directly to verify whether the email, letter or phone call is genuinely from them. This will alert them to suspicious scam activity and keep you safe as well. If you gave out your personal banking details or sent money to the person who scammed you, contact your bank as soon as possible. They can stop further fraudulent transfers or transactions.
