Protecting yourself from fraud

Preventing fraud is essential, and there are steps you can take to safeguard your information:

• Protect personal details: Never share your personal information, including usernames, passwords, or sensitive banking details, over the phone or through email. 3S Money will never ask for this information in unsolicited communications.
   

• Verify senders: Always double-check the sender of a message or email. Fraudsters often impersonate trusted brands. Ensure the communication is from a legitimate source before acting and only attempting to contact the sender via a different source. 
   

• Use common sense: Always ask yourself, is any offer too good to be true, and does the request sound reasonable? Never pay someone you don’t know or take any action if you’re being rushed or pressured.
