If you're thinking of investing in crypto, remember the #TakeFive advice. Don’t rely on personal testimonies or celeb endorsements, they could be fake. Do your research and proceed with caution before making any investments. Sound too good to be true? It probably is.

Criminals are experts at impersonating people. They spend hours researching you for their scams, especially when committing romance fraud. Stop and think. It could protect you and your money. #RomanceFraud

Criminals don’t care what type of music you’re into. They’ll pretend to be selling tickets to any kind of gig for their scams. Beware of anyone who only wants payment via bank transfer and book tickets directly with official sellers who are members of @STARticketing

Change your email password. It's the gateway to your digital life. If you're using the same password elsewhere, do something about it. Pick #ThreeRandomWords. Really. Go for something weird. Make that password uncrackable. @cyberawaregov
