Episode #2 What is internet fraud?
Welcome to episode #2 in our Financial Fraud Protection series. Glenn Dibley explores a big question in this episode and want to a give you the 3 key steps that will help you with your Financial Fraud Protection.
The question 'What is Internet Fraud?' is a biggie. Knowing how to spot it and what to do in the event you come across it, is super important!
Maybe you have seen an email come through that looks legitimate but isn’t? Or, have you had random strangers via social media start to befriend you?Before you respond or reply to anything that looks suspicious use these 3 steps:
Step 1 Pause. Take some time to think about whether the request or opportunity is genuine. Remember: a legitimate company or government department will never pressure you to make a payment.
Step 2 Review. Search online for the person or company and look for any reviews or experiences others may have had. Contact the organisation directly using a phone number from their website (not the email or number in their message).
Step 3 Reflect. Talk to someone you trust and get their opinion or get financial advice.
