1. Stay Informed: Educate yourself about common types of fraud, including phishing scams, identity theft, and financial fraud.
2. Protect Personal Information: Safeguard your personal and financial information by using strong, unique passwords for online accounts, enabling two-factor authentication whenever possible, and being cautious about sharing sensitive information online or over the phone.

Verify the legitimacy of any requests by contacting the organization directly through official channels before providing any sensitive information.
