Don't let a criminal ruin your holiday!. Before traveling abroad, ensure your card company has your updated contact info, carry their 24-hour helpline number, and only bring the cards you'll use. When you return, review your bank statement for any unfamiliar transactions.

Have you seen a deal online that looks too good to be true? 🤔. Purchase scams are when a criminal creates fake adverts online to encourage you to buy goods that don’t actually exist. Always stop and think. Research the seller before you part with your money and information.

Is it a bargain… or fraud? 👀 . Sometimes, online adverts for goods and services can be part of a purchase scam. Always take a moment to consider whether an online link or website is reliable before buying goods online 💸

Take a moment before clicking on that link! 🖱️. You may get a text that appears to be from a genuine organisation, but it could be a scammer attempting to steal your money or information. If you think you’ve been scammed, contact your bank immediately.

Beware of crypto fraud. 📈. Never invest if you are being put under pressure. Even if your friends are investing, doesn’t mean it’s genuine. Think you might have been scammed? Contact your bank immediately and report to @actionfrauduk. #StopChallengeProtect
