Dear resident,

Today, Get Safe Online has launched a new scam detection tool on their website.

If you are suspicious of a text, email or message and you want to check if it is legit or not before responding, you can upload it to Ask Silver on the Get Safe Online website and whereupon it will return an indication of whether the communication is safe or a ‘red flag’ for fraud.

This can be accessed here:

Ask Silver - Get Safe Online

Also attached here is our latest Back-to-Basics campaign - providing lots of tips and advice from our experts about staying safe online this October. You can read more about this here: Your back-to-basics guide to keeping safe online - Get Safe Online

Best wishes,

the Get Safe Online team
