How do I prevent Scam Calls

As mobiles and tablets are becoming our first choice to access the internet, cyber-crime groups are using scam calls and SMS scams to defraud you or trick you into disclosing personal information.

It is important to protect your personal details.

Do not provide them to anyone who asks for that information unless you are completely certain about who is contacting you. When you get scam calls, hang up and if needed, call the organisation back using a number on their website or in a public directory.
