🛡️ Internet Safety
⚠️
Never give your password, bank details, or personal info to anyone online or on the phone.
⚠️
If someone says "you won a prize" — it's a SCAM. Delete it immediately.

If an email asks you to "click urgently" — DON'T. Ask a family member first.
✅
If unsure about anything, ask a trusted family member or friend before clicking.
💡 Remember: Banks will NEVER ask for your password by phone, email, or text!
