Phone scammers will call, unsolicited and pretend to be from an organisation you’d trust, perhaps your bank, your mobile provider, energy provider, Amazon, an insurance company or even your landlord.

They can seem friendly and their requests can seem minor, but please be aware they are usually trying to get financial details.

Please remember to never share personal or financial information with unknown callers. Don’t share passwords or pin numbers. If in doubt, tell them you’ll call them back – get a name, and google the number and call and ask if they called you.
