Bargain or fraud? Sometimes it can be hard to tell. Protect your money & information by only using retailers you trust, or authorised sellers named on official websites when shopping for deals online. #TakeFive

Fraudulent texts, emails, DMs and calls claiming to be from the bank, student loan provider, HMRC and other trusted organisations are commonplace. Overseas students can be targeted by visa fraudsters too. #SaferStudents getsafeonline.org/saferstudents
