You deserve help,
not a lecture.

Contact your bank, card issuer or payment provider immediately using its official number or app. Ask about blocking further charges and reversing or recalling the payment. Keep receipts and transaction details. Recovery is not guaranteed.

From a trusted device, change exposed and reused passwords, review signed-in devices and enable multi-factor authentication. Contact the affected service through its official recovery channel. For Apple, use trusted account settings or iforgot.apple.com if locked out.

Revoke unfamiliar app permissions in the account’s security settings. A password change alone may not remove access granted to an app. Check for unexpected account activity and contact the account provider.

Stop using that device for banking or other sensitive activity. Get trusted technical help to remove unwanted access and check the device. Use a different trusted device to secure accounts and contact your bank.

Close the page. If you downloaded something, granted permissions or notice suspicious behavior, seek trusted technical help. Do not go back to investigate the suspicious site.

Contact the document issuer and follow your country’s identity-theft guidance. In Canada, contact both credit bureaus for identity fraud. In the U.S., use IdentityTheft.gov to create a recovery plan.

Contact your mobile provider from another phone, especially after suspicious account activity. Ask it to check for unauthorized SIM changes or number transfers, and secure linked accounts.
