We share effective ways to protect your personal data and money online

Shopping online is modern and convenient. However, how not to become a victim of scammers?

As part of the information campaign #ShakhraiGoodbye, from the National Bank of Ukraine, we share effective methods that will help you distinguish a real site from a fraudulent one and protect your personal data and funds on the Internet.

Do not forget:

• Check the correctness of the name of the sites to which you go and enter your personal data. The addresses of real and fraudulent sites can be similar, except for one or more characters.
• If you need to go to the company's site, the address of which you received in the link, enter the name of the required site in the search engine and only then go to the web resource.

Pay attention to the site protocol.

• http is an unreliable protocol, which means that the site cannot be used.
• https - you need to continue checking the site.

It is also recommended to additionally check the links of questionable sites:

• on the Cyber Police website in the "Stop Fraud" section: https://cyberpolice.gov.ua/stopfraud/. Also, in this section, you can check your phone number and bank card for fraud;
• through the CheckMyLink service: https://check.ema.com.ua/.

The fraud scheme may be brand new or well-disguised. Therefore, in addition to checking the web resource on the Cyber Police website in the "Stop Fraud" section and the CheckMyLink service, also conduct your own check.

Protect your data and funds.
