• You are asked to click a link or download/open an attachment. 
• It requests sensitive, personal or confidential information, like payment information or account login credentials. 
• The email uses emotive language to encourage a rushed reaction, like fear or excitement. 
• The sender and email address do not match, look out for small inconsistencies that may be hiding in plain sight.  
• It includes a request to you to purchase gift cards and reply with the card information. A legitimate company will never do this.

• If the email is in relation an account you hold, go directly to the official website to login and check the information. Avoid clicking the link provided, as it may take you to a malicious website that appears real. Many organisations, including MyGov no longer send links in emails!

• Keep your friends close – only accept requests from people you know personally. 
• Be cautious of unsolicited messages with offers that might be too good to be true. 
• Avoid clicking links in direct messages and interacting with click bait ads.
• We will NEVER use pornographic imagery in our legitimate ads. Avoid clicking these links as they may take you to malicious or fraudulent sites.
• Protect your account by regularly evaluating your privacy settings and secure it with a unique and complex password or passphrase teamed with multi-factor authentication.  
• Keep your information private - never share personal details, including your address, phone number, multi-factor authentication codes or banking information.

• Be wary of text messages that refer to an order or a package that don’t include specific information relevant to an order you have placed. Delivery scams are very common and sent to large lists of phone numbers – because chances are, someone is waiting on a package.  
• A malicious text message can be inserted into a legitimate chain, you should always exercise caution for any text message you receive, especially when it includes a link. 
• Avoid clicking links, as these can lead to malicious websites or download malicious software to your phone.  
• Never share personal, your account credentials or payment information if requested via text message.
