Call your bank first, on 159 if it's a UK bank that supports it. Speed matters most. Both ScamProof ebooks then take you through the rest of the first hour, step by step.
One for home, one for work. ScamProof Your Family helps protect your parents, partner and kids, and ScamProof Your Business covers sole traders and small firms. Both are instant PDFs.
Both ebooks come with printable checklists. Every sheet is a full page in the PDF, so you can print just the ones you need and keep them by the phone, on the fridge or next to whoever pays the invoices. Print them, pop the kettle on, grab a biscuit (or three) and work through them together. Job done.
