June’s 5 rules
Each one stops a scam that costs families money every day.
1. Ask for the secret word
A voice can be copied from one video online. If they don’t know the secret word, it’s not them.
2. Hang up and call back
Caller ID can be faked. Call the number on your card, or the one saved in your phone.
3. Never tap links in messages
That $1.99 parcel fee is bait. Type the website yourself.
4. Never share a code
Not even with your bank. And never let a caller into your computer.
5. Urgent + secret + money = stop
Any one is a reason to hang up. Only scammers ask for gift cards.
