Many people may already know the dos and don’ts of financial fraud and scams – the trouble is, in the heat of the moment, it’s easy to forget this. After all, trusting people on their word is something many of us tend to do instinctively. If someone says they’re from your bank or a trusted organisation and you need to take urgent action, why wouldn’t you believe them?   

Take Five to Stop Fraud is on a mission to get you match ready in the fight against fraud. This Take Five Week, we’re uniting football tactics and fraud prevention to help you stay safe from scams.  

Just like a tough position on the pitch, fraudsters train to stay at the top of the game. They’ll do their research; they’ll try to rush and pressure you. Their goal is your money and information and stopping is your best defence. 

How can you be match ready? 

• • • Criminals may try to rush you. Slow down the game and think. You have the power to play at your pace. 
    • They’ll apply pressure. So, Take Five to Stop, Challenge and Protect. 
    • Stand tall. This is your money and information, it’s ok to refuse a request. 
    • Trust your instincts. If something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t. 

Test your defences with our new penalty shootout game. You’re the goalkeeper up against the fraudsters in a penalty shootout. It’s time to test your defences.

Share and Protect! 

Knowledge is most powerful when shared! We encourage you to play the game and share it with your friends, family, colleagues or community. Discussing your results can open up important conversations about safety and security when it comes to fraud. The more match ready you are, the better you can protect yourself and your loved ones from a criminal’s tactics.
