A friend keeps getting suspicious texts and emails asking for money or details. What would you tell them to stay safe?

A natural way to answer

I would advise them never to share passwords or bank details by message. A real bank will not ask for those. I would also suggest checking the sender's address carefully and calling the company directly if they are unsure.
