Monitor your CPF and avoid scams
Keeping the CPF protected is essential for a safe financial life. That is, to avoid scams and fraud that millions of people across the country end up suffering day after day. This is often due to lack of knowledge.
In other words, people who do not have access to information on protection methods for their CPF end up being deceived more easily and, consequently, fall into scams and fraud.
Therefore, Mr Panda today will teach you how to keep your CPF up to date and protected. But how? For example, using Serasa and Central Bank tools, which allow the person to check the activities carried out with their document.
Anyway, if you want to keep your CPF more protected and avoid future problems, follow our content today. Prepared? So let's go!
How to know if your CPF was misused?
Firstly, the main way to prevent fraud from occurring with your document is to check it constantly. That is, check for example the type of movement that has been done with it.
This is essential, as many people end up forgetting to check their documents periodically and, therefore, may end up suffering scams. In addition, they only discover the fraud when they need to use the document.
Furthermore, it must be clarified that this situation has happened frequently. Therefore, Serasa developed a platform called Antifraud. Thus, it becomes possible to monitor the CPF through the platform.
So it's pretty simple. The user registers on the platform and Serasa will periodically generate reports with the movements made in his CPF and send it to him.
More than that, every time your CPF is consulted for a purchase, a credit request, any movement whatsoever, you are notified by SMS or email. We will talk later with details about the platform.
In addition to Serasa Antifraude, it is also possible to consult the Central Bank. Therefore, the Central Bank has a platform called Registrado. That is, a website where we can consult the activities of our documents.
This platform is often used by thousands of Brazilians, where it is possible to verify that all the activities they have carried out are present and nothing else. This way, you can avoid fraud as soon as it happens.

Therefore, in addition to monitoring the CPF through the Anti-Fraud platform, we recommend some precautions to protect your CPF. Check out 4 tips we separate.
Be wary of shopping sites
Always be wary of shopping sites that don't have a lot of credibility. Even more, because many of these are acting ready to steal people's data.
This is because many people are not even suspicious when making a purchase. So, make sure the site is protected and has legal regulations to act as a payment platform.
Be careful when getting rid of cards and documents
When disposing of documents, do not throw them away in the trash like anything else. This document can be retrieved by unknown persons and, consequently, be misused.
