Never share a code
Never share a code: a short lesson in 2 steps.
Step by step
- A text from "Corner Market support" is about to arrive… When it shows at the top of the screen, tap it.
- Real companies NEVER ask you for a code by text or by phone. Don't answer: tap "Report", then "Report and block" in the window that opens.
These steps are written for SafePhone, a pretend Android-style smartphone in your web browser. On your own smartphone, the buttons and menus may look a little different, but the idea is the same.
Practice it where nothing can break
SafePhone works like a real smartphone, but nothing you do goes anywhere. Try every button, make mistakes and start again.
