1. Beware of social engineering attack

Social engineering exploits aspects of human trust – to trick people into revealing sensitive personal or information.

Fraudsters contact their targets, usually via telephone, text or email (phishing), purporting to be individuals in positions of trust, such as representatives of financial institutions, utility companies, or even the police. Having gained their target’s trust, they then request sensitive or personal information or items (such as the online login username and password, account numbers or identification details). Such information can then be sold to other scammers and allow them access to their target’s online accounts and other banking or credit card details.
