Print and keep by the phone
Your family safety card
When a scammer calls, panic makes it hard to think. Fill in this card together, print it, and keep it next to the phone or on the fridge.
Pick a family code word that’s easy to remember but not on social media – like a childhood pet or a favourite dessert. If someone calls claiming to be family and in trouble, ask for it.
