Dear Residents, 🌐💻 ONLINE SAFETY: BECAUSE SCAMMERS NEVER TAKE A DAY OFF! 💻 The internet can be brilliant… cat videos, online shopping, and arguing with strangers about whether pineapple belongs on pizza 🍍🍕 BUT it’s also full of scammers trying their luck — so here’s your friendly reminder to stay one step ahead 👀✨ 🔐 Strong Passwords = Happy Life If your password is “123456” or your dog’s name… we need to talk. Make it something strong — and no, “Password123!” still doesn’t count 😅 📩 Unexpected Messages? 🚩 If someone messages you claiming to be a long‑lost relative who wants to send you £5 million… Spoiler: they don’t. Don’t click links unless you’re sure they’re legit! 👤 Think Before You Share We love seeing your holiday pics, but maybe wait until you’re home before announcing your house is empty 🏖️🏠 🔒 Privacy Settings Are Your Friend A quick check can stop strangers from seeing more than your nan on Facebook can handle 👵😂 💷 If It Sounds Too Good To Be True… …it usually comes with a virus, a stolen bank card, or a sudden urge to cry into your cuppa ☕💸 👨👩👧 Kids Online Have a chat with young people about who they’re talking to online — because not everyone is who they say they are. Even if they do claim to be a fellow Roblox pro 🕹️😆 Stay sharp, stay savvy, and don’t let the scammers win 💪🛡️ If you think you’ve been targeted, contact Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040. |
