Be aware of fake emails and websites

Criminals use fake emails and fake websites to trick people into giving away passwords, bank details and other personal information. A criminal might send you an email that looks like it comes from us containing a link to a website that looks legitimate, but when you try to log in they can steal your passwords and personal information.

You can often spot fake websites:

• The site doesn’t display the padlock symbol or ‘https’ in the address bar when you log in.
• They ask you to do something unusual or unexpected.
• They are poorly designed and contain typos or bad spelling.
• They are from suspicious looking email or web addresses.
