Four practical starting points

A method you can check

01

Stop the conversation

You do not have to stay on a call that feels wrong.

02

Do not move money

A genuine organisation will not need a “safe account”.

03

Check independently

Use the number on your card, statement or the official website.

04

Act quickly after a loss

Contact your bank and report suspected crime to An Garda Síochána.
