How to Stay Safe from Scams

• Always access Intucate only through www.intucate.com or the official app from Play Store / App Store
• Check the sender's email domain - all official emails come from @intucate.com
• Intucate will never ask for your password, OTP, or full card details via email, SMS, or phone
• Do not click suspicious links - go directly to the website instead
• If in doubt, call or email Intucate support before taking any action

If you notice any of the following, your account may have been compromised:

• You receive a login notification from a device or location you do not recognise.
• Your course progress, purchased courses, or profile details have changed without your action.

Immediate steps to take:

• Log out of all active sessions: Go to 'My Profile' > 'Account Security' > 'Log Out of All Devices'.
• Check your registered email for any recent activity notifications.
• Contact Intucate Support at security@intucate.com with details of the suspicious activity.

8.4 Password Safety Tips

• Change your password every 90 days as a good security habit.
• Use a password manager (like Bitwarden or Google Password Manager) to create and store strong passwords securely.
