How can I protect myself from fraud?

There are many ways for fraudsters and con-artists to trick you out of your money. So it's important that you know how to stop yourself becoming a victim.

• Never share your PIN or passwords with anyone—even if they say they are from your bank. 
• Keep your card safe and don’t let anyone else use it. 
• Choose a PIN that’s hard to guess (not your birthday or 1234). 
• Don’t write down your PIN or passwords anywhere. 
• Be careful with emails, texts, and phone calls. If you’re not sure they’re real, don’t click on links or give out information. Call your provider using the number on your card. 
• Never move your money to another account because someone tells you to. 
• If you feel rushed or unsure, stop and check. Real companies will not pressure you. 

• Keep your phone and computer up to date and don’t let others use them.
