Horsham Rural City Council wishes to alert residents to a recent flyer that has been distributed to mailboxes across the municipality. Please be aware that this flyer is not endorsed, produced, or distributed by Council. The flyer with the heading What would you like to see in Horsham contains a survey that is not affiliated with any Council initiative or program, and residents are advised to take caution when responding or providing any personal information via this survey.
In today's digital age, it's crucial to remain vigilant about unexpected communication—whether it's a physical flyer or an email in your inbox. Scammers can disguise their appearance to appear legitimate in order to trick people into sharing sensitive details. Always double-check the source before responding or sharing your data.
To stay cyber-secure, verify before you trust. Always check whether the organisation contacting you is legitimate and officially connected. If in doubt, contact them directly using contact information available on their verified website, not from the flyer or message itself and avoid providing your date of birth, bank details, or driver's license number.
