1. Watch out for offers that seem too good to be true.
Fake rental listings and fraudulent applicants increase at this time of year.
2. Use trusted platforms for payments and paperwork.
Never share bank details or sign agreements through unverified links or social media DMs.
3. Strengthen your passwords.
Avoid duplicates and enable multi-factor authentication where possible.
4. Think before you click.
Phishing emails pretending to be agents, energy companies, or delivery firms surge around Cyber Monday.
5. Protect sensitive documents.
IDs, bank statements and payslips should be shared and stored securely.
