Always pause before you act. Scammers rely on creating a false sense of urgency to pressure you into quick decisions. This tactic is designed to bypass your usual caution and judgment. Take a moment to verify any unexpected request, especially those involving money, sensitive information, or unfamiliar links. Slowing down and thinking critically can help you avoid serious and costly mistakes.

Always be careful when you get offers you didn’t ask for, especially if they seem too good to be true, like free prizes or huge discounts. Scammers often try to make you excited or rush you so you don’t have time to think clearly. If someone asks for your personal details or money upfront, don’t trust it right away — take time to check if it’s real before doing anything.

Voice phishing, or "vishing," is a scam in which attackers impersonate trusted sources over the phone to steal personal information. Scammers may fake caller IDs to appear as banks, e-wallet providers, government agencies, or tech support. Never trust a call asking for immediate action, never click on links sent via SMS by the caller, and never provide personal information. Always hang up and call the official number directly if you’re unsure.
