How to protect your financial data<\/strong><\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Identifying fraud<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

In this section, you’ll learn how to protect your financial data from scams such as phishing and fake text messages. You’ll also learn ways to recognize when someone is trying to scam you. <\/p>\n\n

Scammers don’t sleep and are constantly trying to scam you out of your money, using a variety of methods. One of the most common is phishing, which involves sending fake messages that look like they come from a bank, courier company or other trusted institution. Imagine getting an email saying that your bank account has been blocked and you have to click on a link to unblock it. <\/p>\n\n

Phishing – email and website scams<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Phishing<\/strong> is an attempt to trick you out of your data, such as your bank passwords, card numbers or social network login information. Scammers send you messages (emails or text messages) that look like they come from a bank, the Post Office, a telecommunications company or other trusted companies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sample scenario:<\/strong> You receive an email stating that your bank account has been blocked and you need to click on a link to unblock it. The link takes you to a page that looks like your bank’s website, but is actually fake. When you enter your password there, the scammers take it over. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

How do you recognize phishing?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Check the e-mail address of the sender. Are you sure it is your bank’s address and not, for example, bankk.polskis@gmail.com? <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Check the link before you click on it. You can hover over the link with your mouse cursor (not click!) and the real address will appear at the bottom of your browser. It is usually different from the bank’s official website. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Be suspicious of messages that contain spelling errors, have strange syntax or are written in “broken” Polish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. The bank never asks for passwords or card details in an email.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","class_list":["post-1893","lesson","type-lesson","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fpna.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lesson\/1893","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fpna.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lesson"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fpna.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/lesson"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fpna.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1893"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fpna.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1893"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
