Received an email which you’re not quite sure about? Is it asking you to login to your account, or maybe to "confirm" your payment details?
If you are suspicious, you should report it by forwarding the email to: Report@phishing.gov.uk #CyberProtect

Just because someone knows a few basic details about you, it doesn’t mean they are genuine.
The police or your bank will never contact you out of the blue to ask for your PIN, password, or to transfer money to another account.

Criminals posing as banks increased 94% in 2020.
⚠️Banks won't ask you to move money to safe accounts or contact you out the blue asking for PINs/passwords.
⚠️Only give info to services you consent to and expect contact from.
⚠️Contact banks directly on known emails/numbers.

After months of stalling, Google finally revealed how much personal data they collect in Chrome and the Google app. No wonder they wanted to hide it.
Spying on users has nothing to do with building a great web browser or search engine. We would know (our app is both in one).
