The Government and fraud specialists are vigilantly working towards putting an end to cybercrime. But cybercriminals are coming up with innovative and advanced ways of scamming people. There’s a lot that you can do on your part. Here’s how you can identify a scam and put an end to one before it even begins:
Random and unsolicited phone calls offering unrealistic services.
Bogus emails offering services that are too good to be true.
A legitimate company will never ask for your Personal Identification through PIN or passwords.
If someone puts you under time pressure, do not indulge. Its most probably a scam.
Trust your intuition. If you don’t remember entering a competition, you simply didn't.
