Protecting Yourself from Financial Abuse "Banks are very aware of the growing incidence of financial abuse of vulnerable people and can play an important role in  raising awareness on the issue, including what their clients can do to protect themselves from financial abuse. This set of  articles describes financial abuse and provides tips and information for consumers about how to avoid becoming a  victim. The Fraud Prevention section of the CBA website also offers further tips on credit card fraud, debit card fraud,  identity theft, phishing, vishing, real estate fraud, financial scams and protection of personal information."
