Your Digital Footprint Is the Scam's Raw Material

The first four steps, in order

  1. 1

    Search your own name and number

    Twenty minutes. See what a scammer would see first.

  2. 2

    Lock the three worst things

    Private accounts, remove the phone number, tighten old posts.

  3. 3

    Brief the likeliest target

    A senior parent, usually. Agree a family safe word.

  4. 4

    Save 1930 before you need it

    Mid-scam is not when you want to be searching for it.

1930 is the national cyber crime helpline, 24/7. Reporting fast is the single biggest factor in getting money back. Call now
