“Now. Urgent. Final notice. Immediate action required…”
Scammers create a sense of urgency, so you feel pressured to click, pay or respond straight away. But you can always stop and check first.
🛑Stop: don’t let urgency push you into action.
✔️Check: verify the message through official channels.
🛡️Protect: call your bank if you’ve been scammed and report it to Scamwatch.gov.au
