Check Before Pay

Asks for a password, code or token

Legitimate banks, apps and companies never ask for your password or a code you received by text.

Asks you to install an app or allow remote access

Remote access gives the scammer full control of your device.

"This is my new number"

Classic family impersonation: confirm by calling the old number.

Promises guaranteed or unrealistic returns

High guaranteed returns don't exist; it's the hallmark of Ponzi and investment scams.

Offers money for simple tasks

Early payouts are bait; then they ask for a deposit to unlock tasks.

Asks for a fee to release a parcel or unpaid toll

A small fee to capture your card details. Check on the official site by typing the address.

Claims to be your bank about a suspicious transaction

Hang up and call the number on the back of your card.

Uses a government agency's name

Agencies don't demand payment by text with a link. Use the official website.

Announces a prize or giveaway

A prize that requires payment or data is a scam.

Uses threats (arrest, lawsuit, exposure)

Threats and pressure stop you from thinking or asking someone.

Announces new bank details for payment

Call back on a known number before changing any bank details.

Asks for secrecy

Secrecy is used to bypass controls and stop you from checking.

Asks for personal or card data

Never send ID numbers or card data to someone who contacted you.

Creates urgency

Urgency is the scam's main tool. Stop and verify through another channel.

Asks for a payment or transfer

Instant payments, crypto and gift cards are hard to reverse.

Involves a crypto wallet, airdrop or presale

No legitimate party asks for your seed phrase; airdrops and presales are common drainer bait.

Affectionate approach from a stranger

Romance scams build trust before asking for money or pitching investments.
