THE PHISHING TEXT
Planning a trip and expecting deliveries? Be on
the lookout for phishing texts and emails claiming you owe
customs or delivery fees for a parcel. Warning signs
include unexpected payment requests, urgent language,
and links to unfamiliar websites. If in doubt, don't click
the link. Contact the delivery company directly using
trusted contact details to verify any charges.

THE SKIMMING ATM
Using the ATM to take cash out while you're away?
Scammers can put skimming devices on ATMs to
try and scrape your card details. Look out for tape
or glue residue on the keypad or card reader,
bulkiness on the card insert area or on the keypad,
loose or ill-fitting PIN keypad, hidden cameras or
pinhole holes drilled into the ATM.

THE IDENTITY THEFT
As you travel, keep those personal details safe.
Be mindful about publicly sharing information that
identifies you, like your address, and never share
your PINs or passwords with anyone.

THE MALWARE HACK
Trying to book accommodation or an experience
online? Make sure you trust it first. Always check
the URL when paying online to make sure it
contains 'https://'. The 's' indicates it's a secure
connection, meaning your card details will be
encrypted before they're shared.
