A calm, practical response after a scare

Realising you may have been scammed or hacked is stressful — but the right steps, taken calmly, limit the damage and get you secure again.

This service is about exactly that: cleaning up, locking down your accounts, and giving you a clear plan so it’s far less likely to happen again. No judgement, no panic.

What this service can help with

  • Devices that may be infected or had remote access
  • Accounts that have been accessed or locked
  • Passwords and logins that need securing fast
  • Worry about what a scammer might still have access to
  • Feeling safer and better protected going forward

What is included

Support can include cleaning up affected devices, securing your email and key accounts, setting up a password manager and two-factor authentication, and reviewing what may have been exposed — with clear, practical guidance throughout.

If money has been sent, contacting your bank and reporting to Scamwatch is an important first step, and we can help you work through the rest.

Frequently asked questions

Good to know

What should I do right now?

Stop sending any money or details, disconnect the device if it may be compromised, and change your important passwords from a different, trusted device. Then get the device checked. There's a step-by-step guide in the tips section, and we can help work through it with you.

Will you judge me for falling for it?

Never. Modern scams are convincing and they target careful, sensible people too. The focus is entirely on sorting it out and helping you feel secure again.

Can you help me stop it happening again?

Yes. Part of the service is setting up stronger protection — a password manager, two-factor authentication, and simple habits — so you're much safer going forward.
