I entered my details on a fake website — what now?

1. Stop entering more information on that site and close the tab.
2. If you typed a password, change it from a device and network you trust—starting with email and banking.
3. If you entered card or bank details, call your bank or card issuer using the number on the card or official app.
4. Turn on multi-factor authentication or passkeys wherever available.
5. Save evidence (URL, screenshots, times) and report via your national fraud channel when ready.

Entering details on a fake site does not automatically mean every account is lost. Act in order: contain access, protect money, then report.

Reuse of the same password elsewhere is the main escalation risk. Change reused passwords on a clean device.

If malware is a concern (you also downloaded a file), disconnect from sensitive sessions and use another device for password resets until the device is checked.

Stay calm: rushed “recovery helpers” who message you first are often a second scam.

• Follow-up calls or chats offering to “fix” the hack for a fee
• Messages asking you to move money to a “safe account”
• Pressure to share one-time codes you just received

1. Document the fake URL and what you entered
2. Report to Action Fraud (UK) or your local cybercrime reporting channel
3. Monitor statements for unfamiliar charges
4. Use Fraudly later to inspect similar links—after accounts are secured

Fraudly cannot reverse payments, reset bank accounts, or wipe malware from your device.
