How to Protect Yourself

Phishing is when a scammer sends a fraudulent email pretending to be a legitimate entity in an attempt to access the recipient’s personal identifying information. Once a fraudster obtains these private details, which can be anything from account passwords to Social Security numbers or credit card information, he or she will try various methods to access online accounts and finances.

If an email demands that you act quickly, or presents a limited-time opportunity that failure to claim will result in a severe, negative action, take your time to read and understand the message. A reputable organization, including government entities, will not contact you via email threatening a consequence if you do not comply with the message guidelines. Call the sender’s business directly to discuss the email message using a verifiable phone number, never reply to these emails or use the contact information within the message.
