NEVER send money, or give credit card or online account details to anyone you do not know and trust.
Check your bank account and credit card statements when you get them. If you see a transaction you cannot explain, report it to your credit union or bank.
Keep your credit card and ATM cards safe. Do not share your personal identity number (PIN) with anyone. Do not keep any written copy of your PIN with the card.
Choose passwords that would be difficult for anyone else to guess.
Try to avoid using public computers (at libraries or internet cafes) to do your internet banking.
Do not use software on your computer that auto-completes online forms. This can give internet scammers easy access to your personal and credit card details.
Do not give out your personal, credit card or online account details over the phone unless you made the call and the phone number came from a trusted source.
Never send your personal, credit card or online account details through an email.
As well as following these specific tips, find out how to protect yourself from all sorts of other scams.
