You’ve clicked on a fraudulent link sent to you by your nan. Yep, your actual nan. She’s become a bit of an expert – and we bet you thought it was older people who are the victims! She’s been working with Get Safe Online to raise awareness of email, social media and text scams, to help people protect themselves online.
Don’t worry, nothing bad has happened – this time. Remember: never click on links in unexpected emails or social media as you can’t be sure who’s sent them. If in doubt, ask your nan for advice! Better still, get more information and advice here: www.getsafeonline.org
