Protect yourself from scams

*Protect yourself from scams*

The police urge the public to practise good cyber hygiene, such as checking with official sources like the ScamShield App or the 24/7 ScamShield Helpline (1799) whenever they are unsure if something is a scam. 

*Government officials will never do these things over a phone call:*

1. Ask you to transfer money or valuables

2. Ask you to install apps from unofficial app stores

3. Ask you to disclose bank log-in details

4. Transfer your call to the police
