Video: Stay Safe Online & Scam Prevention
Last year, using the internet to communicate with our loved ones became the main way of staying in touch for many of us in the City of Melton. As such, Paul from Hobstar Computer Solutions shared with us his top tips to recognise internet and phone scams as well as ways keep your passwords and information safe in an easy to understand YouTube video. You can re-visit Paul’s video on our YouTube channel.
