This Halloween, remember: vampires need an invitation. Even the cute ones. Scammers would settle for your login details – then help themselves to your time and money. Keep the door closed. Garlic optional.
Not every unwanted guest arrives wearing a cape. Some turn up as an “urgent” email from your boss, a supplier asking you to change bank details, or a fake login page dressed up as a service you use.
Let a scammer into an account and the fallout could drain your care team’s time, energy and budget – resources far better spent on care.
So, before you welcome an unexpected request:
- Pause at the door. Urgency isn’t proof that a request is genuine.
- Check who’s knocking. Contact the person through a number or route you already trust – not the details in the message.
- Keep your keys to yourself. Don’t share passwords or verification codes. Use two-step verification where available.
- Raise the alarm. Report suspicious messages through your organisation’s usual process. Already clicked or shared details? Tell your IT support promptly – no blame, just quick action.
At Digital Care Hub, we’d rather your team felt drained by the Halloween dance-off than by a scam.
Garlic for the vampires. Good cyber habits for the scammers.
What’s the cheekiest “let me in” request you’ve spotted? Share the story, not any personal details.
