What is Email "spoofing/phishing"?
Fraudulent emails (also known as "spoofing" or "phishing") are those that appear to come from a well-known, reputable source but have the intention of putting your personal information at risk.
Fraudulent emails and phishing Web pages typically seek to bait you into disclosing your personal info, include a file or link to a
Malicious web site to provide, update or confirm sensitive personal information, such as:
- Username/Password
- Your account number
- Social Security number
- ATM, debit or credit card information
- Bank account number
Typically, phishing email will:
- Appear to come from a trustworthy company with imagery and links that appear to be legitimate.
- Often the subject line and the message indicate that the email is urgent in nature.
- The email will contain what appears to be a convenient link, but it takes the recipient to a fake web site set up by the "Fraudster".
- Fraudulent emails will also disguise the sender's email address so it appears to be legitimate.
How do I protect myself?
- Never click any links or open any attachments without verifying the legitimacy of the email first.
- Do not respond to any emails requesting sensitive personal information.
- Reputable companies should never ask you to verify or update personal information online.
- Call the company via a known good number and ask them about the email.
