- You should never give personal information (e.g. e-Banking codes, card numbers/PINs, passwords, username) to supposed intermediaries, law firms, accountants, or other purveyors of so-called service (e.g. in matters of government subsidy, Power/Fuel/Tourism for all or other cases such as room rental etc).
- You should access through the official website of the institution, organization or bank or through the application on your mobile phone (app) and not through links from a message or email you received, search engines or other websites.
- If you received a suspicious email, you should contact your partners or the alleged sender to verify its authenticity before taking action.
- You should check the sender address carefully. Phishing emails often have sender addresses unrelated to the purported sender.
- You should consider the type of information you are being asked for. Even if the message you received seems genuine, it is unlikely that any agency, bank or company will contact you via email to ask for personal information, bank or credit card details, or other personal or sensitive data.
- You should be wary if the message creates a sense of urgency. Attackers often try to exert pressure using this tactic.
- You should also be wary of tax refund or allowance messages.
- A thorough grammar and spelling check is effective as typos and poor grammar are often characteristic of phishing emails.
