Protect your personal data
Never respond to requests to provide your personal details or your Bank account details Online or by phone. If you are asked for your insurance number, find out if you can provide other details. Pay attention to convincing messages from banks, charities and government agencies. Use verified contact information sources to confirm information requests, such as, for example, the Bank's official website or phone number on your card.
Don't share too much
Do not post on social networks such data as your birthday, maiden name of mother, nickname of pet and so on. Here's how you can protect yourself right now: go to your social media profile and delete all the personal information you find there.
Update
Install antivirus software on your computer and update databases. Use only the latest version of your browser. Install all patches and updates as soon as they come out.
Increase the difficulty
What else is an easy way to protect yourself online? Your password. Use unique and difficult passwords. Do not enter passwords when using a public wireless network.
Aware of fake online sweepstakes and contests
All offers that require payment or personal information from you before you receive your reward are fraudulent. Therefore, you should always check the legitimacy of each proposal. Ask the sender for contact details and all necessary information about the company that is conducting the contest. As soon as you start asking a lot of questions and demonstrate that you can not get to make an instant decision, most scammers will leave you.
Give up the papers
Use electronic statements and direct Deposit, as well as pay for the accounts on the Internet.
Do not follow the wave of delight from working at home
Carefully check out the company that offers you work from home, making as many phone calls and Internet requests as possible. If you are in doubt, visit your local law enforcement Agency and find out the opinion of experts. All proposals for earnings through the shipment of goods sent to your address is a fraud. Unfortunately, many of these schemes not only make you a victim of fraud, but also expose you to fraud.

Keep track of your finances
Monitor your Bank account and the status of your cards every week. Subscribe to alerts that will send you an email or directly to your phone Bank.
