Keep safe

Protect Yourself From Cybercrime and Fraud

Everyone is potentially vulnerable to cybercrime and old-fashioned fraud; older generations are favoured targets for ruthless crooks; and the anxieties of Covid-19 and the increased reliance on the Internet have created additional risks.

On this page you will find links to guidance on staying safe. Our thanks to D&G Police for their assistance. You can also see the Met Police guides to staying safe from fraud on their website which also has video and audio versions.

Please remember the A-B-C rule:

  • A - Accept nothing
  • B - Believe no-one
  • C - Confirm everything.
