Have you ever disclosed information in an
online profile that a fraudster could use, such as
your date of birth?
Online fraud is a growing problem. As
more and more services go online we can
expect fraud levels to rise even further.
Many fraudsters who once searched
through rubbish bins for discarded bank
statements now browse social media sites
for personal data.
Most of us are oblivious to this risk and our
online posts and profiles often contain a
wealth of information that a clever
fraudster could use.
Always limit what you post and what your
profile discloses about you.
F is for…
Fraud
