Scams and fake messages

1. If something is urgent, secret, or too good to be true, slow down. Scams rush you on purpose.
2. No real company needs your password, a code texted to you, or your full card number by message.
3. Check where a link really goes, or type the address yourself.
4. If you get scammed, say so quickly. A fast report saves money and protects the next person.
5. Free in-game money or items from a random link is almost always a trap.
6. Pause before you pay for anything or type in card details. If it feels off, check with someone you trust first.
7. Someone offering easy money for letting them use your account or bank card? That's a scam, and it can get you into real trouble.
8. Tell your bank straight away if money or card details went somewhere they shouldn't.
9. Be careful with investment offers, romance chats that turn to money, and urgent messages that look like they're from family or your boss.
10. If a call from your "bank" feels off, hang up and call the number on your card.
