How Do I Detect a Scam?

U Mobile, along with any credible organisation, will never ask for your personal details (e.g. credit card number, TAC, passwords, etc) via e-mail, website, messaging app, SMS or over a call. If you are asked for this information, you may be a target of scammers. Here are some other common scam tactics to watch out for:

How Can I Protect Myself?

Anyone can be targeted by scammers, but you can stay vigilant & follow these tips to avoid from falling victim to scams or fraud.

Do Not Return Calls
Do not return calls/e-mails/messages

 

  • To avoid being scammed further, do not answer calls/e-mails/messages from unknown sources.
  • Do not return one-ring calls that could cause you to incur hefty international call fees.
Do Not Provide Personal Data
Do not provide personal data

 

  • Do not provide any personal information such as identification number, TAC, bank account details, credit card details or other information in response to any suspicious calls or e-mails.
  • If they say they have the information and just need to confirm it with you, that’s usually a trick.
Do Not Open Icons
Do not click open on suspicious texts, links, pop-up windows or attachments

 

  • If you are unsure of any texts, e-mails, or messages that you have received, always verify the identity of the contact sender by sourcing it independently.
  • Do not use contact details that were provided in the message sent to you.
Always Know Who You're Dealing With
Always know who you’re dealing with

 

  • If you’ve only met someone online or are unsure of the legitimacy of the company, always take some time to do a bit more research.
  • Do a search on Google, LinkedIn or any other social media platform to determine the profile and photo of the person.
