Banks and other trusted organisations will never try to force you to make any important financial decisions. Also, be wary of phone calls saying that your computer has a problem or calls asking you to send money to a secure location.
Fraud doesn’t just happen by the phone, it can also happen through emails. If you receive an email asking you to update important personal information, be suspicious and check whether they are genuine
Emails can easily be faked, so no matter how urgent something appears, make sure you stop, think and check to see whether this is normal.
Fraudsters can easily find out invoice details, allowing them to easily pose as suppliers. If you receive an email supposedly from a supplier that asks you to change payment details, then contact them through existing details to check that the email is genuine.
