Test Page - Scam Awareness

This page is a test. While you're here, let's talk about scam awareness.

Important Scam Awareness Tips:

• Never share your personal or financial information via email or phone unless you're absolutely sure who you're dealing with.
• Be cautious of unsolicited communications asking for your details or directing you to visit a website.
• Always verify the identity of the contact through an independent source such as a phone book or online search. Do not use the contact details provided in the message sent to you.
• Know that financial institutions will never ask you to send them your passwords or personal information via email.
• Always keep your computer security up-to-date with anti-virus and anti-spyware software, and a good firewall. Only buy computer and anti-virus software from a reputable source.

File Safety and Ransomware Awareness

Be cautious with files and aware of ransomware:

• Do not open email attachments from unknown or suspicious sources. These could contain ransomware or other malware.
• Be wary of downloading files from the internet, especially from sites you do not trust. These files can contain harmful software.
• Regularly back up important data to an external drive or cloud storage. This way, you won't lose everything if you fall victim to ransomware.
• Be aware of ransomware, a type of malicious software that locks your computer or encrypts your files, demanding payment to regain access. Never pay the ransom, as there is no guarantee your files will be recovered.
• Keep your operating system and all software updated to protect against vulnerabilities that could be exploited by ransomware.
