Not legal, financial, or personal advice

The content on this site (including guides, blogs, emails and downloads) is general information only. It is not legal advice, financial advice, or personalised advice. Always verify with your bank or the official organisation before acting.

No client relationship

Using this site or contacting us does not create a client, advisory, or professional relationship.

Accuracy and timeliness

We work hard to keep information accurate and up to date, but scams change rapidly. We make no guarantees that all content will be current, complete, or error-free. Use your judgement and verify key details (for example, call your bank using the number on the back of your card).

Affiliate disclosure

Some pages may include clearly labelled affiliate links to products and services we genuinely recommend (e.g., security tools). If you click and purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This helps fund our free content and does not affect our recommendations.
