Don’t act straight away. Stop and think about what you’re being asked to do. 

Real companies or government agencies won’t pressure you to make payments.

Have a quick look on Google to see if the company or person is real and whether it's the right phone number.

Check to see if anyone else has had similar experiences.

If something feels wrong, act quickly.

Contact your bank immediately if you notice unusual activity or if a scammer gets your money or information.
