Keeping safe from scammers

  • It’s ok to hang up if you’re suspicious of who is on the other end of a call.
  • It’s ok to ignore a call from an unknown number.
  • It’s ok to not respond to someone you don’t know.

Remember to never share your login details, password or PIN with anyone.

WBS will never ask you for your login details or remote access to your computer and online account.
