Online users who have already being tricked by the phishing scam are asked to change their email accounts' password immediately before their accounts are hijacked and used fraudulently.
Now, in order not to become a victim of phishing scams, online users should never click on a link to sign into their email accounts, they should go directly to their email account provider's website and sign-in from there instead. If there is something that needs to be done to their accounts, they will be notified after signing in.
Example:
If I have a Hotmail account, I would go directly to www.hotmail.com and sign-in from there, instead of clicking on a link in some fake email message.
