Principles to remember
-
Reach websites by typing the address, not by tapping a link
Type the address yourself or use a saved bookmark. Tapping a link from an email or text hands the destination to whoever sent it.
-
If you did not start the conversation, you are not in control of it
Whoever initiates contact sets the script. Reset by closing the channel and reaching out yourself.
-
Treat urgency as a scam signal
Real institutions give you time. Pressure to act in the next few minutes is one of the loudest signals a scam gives off.
