Cyber Security

Identify and Avoid Scams

Scammers may try to impersonate Praxis, the Praxis IT Team, banks, government organisations, delivery services, or other trusted organisations to steal your personal information, passwords, or money.

Common Types of Scams

Be alert for:

  • Phishing emails asking you to click a suspicious link or share your account details.

  • Fake IT support messages asking for your password, OTP, or verification code.

  • Fake login pages that look similar to Google, Microsoft, or other trusted services.

  • Unexpected payment requests asking you to make an urgent payment.

  • Fake job, internship, scholarship, or offer messages requesting personal or financial information.

  • Suspicious attachments or downloads that may contain harmful software.

Stay cautious: If a message seems unusual, urgent, or asks for sensitive information, verify it through an official Praxis contact before taking any action.
