Scams are evolving. Your defences need to evolve too.
A convincing phone call from your bank. An urgent message from a family member. A promising investment opportunity. A legitimate-looking website. A new online relationship. A work-from-home offer that seems too good to ignore.

From traditional phishing and fake investment schemes to AI-generated voices, deepfakes and automated social engineering, this book explains how modern scams actually work, why anyone can be deceived, and what you can do before and after something goes wrong.
Inside, you'll learn how to recognise and respond to:

You do not need to become a cybersecurity expert to protect yourself.
You need stronger habits, safer decisions and one principle that works against almost every form of digital deception:
STOP. THINK. VERIFY. STAY SAFE.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
