Stay Alert: How to Detect and Avoid Security Fraud & Attacks
As online fraud, phishing attempts and investment scams become increasingly sophisticated,
staying informed and vigilant is essential to protecting your personal information, trading
account and assets.
Important: Fraudsters may attempt to impersonate Today Markets, its employees,
representatives, partners or associated service providers. Always be cautious when receiving
unexpected communications, payment requests or links asking for personal or account information.
Beware of Fraudsters Impersonating Today Markets
Criminals may attempt to pose as representatives of Today Markets and contact you through email,
text messages, phone calls or social media platforms. They may offer trading advice, request
payments, ask for sensitive information or direct you to websites designed to look like official
Today Markets services.
Social media platforms may include, but are not limited to, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Facebook,
Facebook Messenger, Telegram, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, WeChat, Snapchat and other messaging
or social networking services.
Today Markets will never:
- Ask you to provide your password or security credentials through social media or unsolicited messages.
- Request that you send payments or make financial arrangements through unofficial social media accounts.
- Ask you to transfer funds to an unverified personal bank account or wallet.
- Send unsolicited messages requesting sensitive personal or account information.
- Ask you to disclose one-time passwords, authentication codes or other security credentials.
- Guarantee profits or promise high returns with little or no risk.
Tips for Protecting Yourself from Fraud
1. Never Share Personal or Security Information
Keep sensitive information such as passwords, security answers, authentication codes and
account credentials private. Today Markets will not ask you to disclose your password or
security codes through unsolicited communications.
Regularly monitor your account activity and enable available security alerts to help identify
unauthorised transactions or unexpected changes.
2. Verify Communications
If you receive suspicious or unexpected communication claiming to be from Today Markets,
do not immediately respond, click links or provide information.
Instead, verify the communication using official Today Markets contact channels and information
available through our official website.
3. Watch for Red Flags in Emails and Messages
Be cautious of communications that:
```
- Use urgent or threatening language.
- Ask for passwords, security codes or other sensitive information.
- Request immediate payments or transfers.
- Contain unusual grammar, spelling mistakes or suspicious formatting.
- Come from an unfamiliar or unusual email address.
- Contain unexpected links or attachments.
Do not click on suspicious links or download attachments from unknown sources.
```
4. Beware of Fake Today Markets Websites
Fraudsters may create websites that closely resemble legitimate financial services websites.
They may use similar logos, colours, names or domain addresses to trick users into entering
their personal or login information.
```
Always check the website address carefully before entering your login details or personal
information. Be particularly cautious of domains containing additional characters, unusual
spellings or unfamiliar extensions.
```
5. Double-Check Payment Instructions
Scammers may attempt to intercept communications and provide false payment instructions.
Any unexpected request to change payment details should be treated with extreme caution.
```
If you receive a request to change payment instructions or send funds to a new account,
independently verify the request using established official contact details before proceeding.
```
6. Use Strong Passwords and Enable Two-Factor Authentication
Protect your trading and online accounts by using strong, unique passwords. Avoid using the
same password across multiple services.
```
Where available, enable two-factor authentication (2FA) to add an additional layer of security
to your account.
```
7. Be Cautious of Investment Scams
Be wary of unsolicited investment opportunities, trading offers or individuals promising
guaranteed profits or unusually high returns with little or no risk.
```
All trading involves risk, and no legitimate financial service can guarantee profits from
trading financial markets.
```
What to Do If You Suspect Fraud
If you suspect that you have been contacted by someone impersonating Today Markets, or believe
that you have been targeted by a scam or fraudulent activity, stop communicating with the
individual immediately.
- Do not send money or provide additional personal information.
- Do not click on suspicious links or download unknown attachments.
- Change your password if you believe your account credentials may have been compromised.
- Contact Today Markets through official channels to report the suspected activity.
- Contact your bank or payment provider immediately if you have sent funds to a suspected fraudster.
- Report suspected criminal activity to your local law enforcement authorities.
