PAUSE BEFORE YOU ACT
Three reasons to stop and check.
They want access.
They ask for a password, a one-time code or remote access to your device. End the call and contact the organisation independently.
The story needs checking.
Use contact details you already trust, such as those in your banking app or on a statement. Don’t rely on a number supplied during the call.
You want to report it.
Tell other people what happened without sharing private details. For official reporting routes, follow our practical guide.
