Online safety tips

Here are a few safety tips to keep in mind:

Your security is our priority. Be aware of identified latest scams.
Update your information, make payments and check communications securely through the Linkt app or website.
Don’t click on links. Remember, we won’t ask for your personal or financial information through email or SMS.
If you’re unsure whether a message is from us, refer to the ways we’ll contact you.
If you received a suspicious message claiming to be Linkt and are in doubt, report it.

What to look out for:

If something about a message seems odd to you, the best thing you can do is take a minute and come back to it with fresh eyes.

Some practical things to look out for are: 

incorrect spelling and grammar
strange links that don’t look like legitimate websites. 
vague or unspecific details, and
the use of urgent language or threats/consequences if you don’t take immediate action.

Improve your passwords

Create different passwords for each account. Where possible make sure your passwords contain three of the four character types (uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers and symbols).

Swap your password for a passphrase to improve your cyber security. This consists of four or more random words, making them longer than a traditional password. For example, instead of p$321word, a passphrase could be r3d du%k c@$h (using the words red, duck, cash).

Consider using a reputable password manager to help keep your online passwords safe and secure, and help you remember them.
