Module 2: number spoofing
It is very easy for fraudsters to send you a scam text, manipulating the phone number or displayed sender name to look like one you already recognise. It’s also very easy for you to watch and learn how to protect yourself if someone’s not who they say they are…

Module 3: phone scams
If you get a phone call from your bank or the police saying they need your personal details for something, why wouldn’t you assume they’re genuine? Because of everything you’re about to see in this video…
