Fraud Awareness Tips
Use Secure Networks: Ensure you are using a secure and trusted network, especially when making transactions. Avoid public Wi-Fi for sensitive information.
Official Apps Only: Download and use the official mobile app from the service provider. Avoid third-party apps to minimise the risk of fraudulent activities.
Update Software: Keep your mobile device’s operating system and the money transfer app up to date. Updates often include security patches to protect against vulnerabilities.
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Enable 2FA whenever possible to add an extra layer of security. This typically involves receiving a code on your phone that you need to enter during the login process.
Beware of Phishing Attempts: Be cautious of emails, messages, or calls asking for personal or financial information. Service providers usually communicate important information through their official channels.
Use Strong Passwords: Create strong and unique passwords for your account. Avoid using easily guessable information, such as birthdays or common words.
Secure Your Device: Use a password, PIN, or biometric authentication to secure your mobile device. This adds an extra layer of protection in case your device is lost or stolen.
Keep Personal Information Private: Be cautious about sharing personal information online. Avoid sharing sensitive details in public forums or social media.
Check Reviews and Ratings: Before using any provider, check reviews and ratings from other users. This can provide insights into the reliability and security of the service.
Report Suspicious Activity: If you notice any suspicious activity or receive unexpected alerts, contact the service’s customer support immediately.
Remember, stay vigilant and take proactive measures to protect your financial information when using money transfer services online or through mobile apps.
