Follow these simple tips to thwart
-
Beware of “phishers!” Don’t respond to e-mails requesting personal or private information such as passwords, credit card numbers or bank account numbers. Even if a message appears to be from your bank or a trusted vendor, credible companies never request private information this way.
-
Check suspicious e-mails. Before you act on an e-mail request, check a list of the latest e-mail scams on the Federal Trade Commission’s Web site at ftc.gov/bcp/menu-internet.htm.
-
Be aware of adware and malware. Ensure you don’t click on error messages with unfamiliar logos stating “your computer has been infected with a virus” or “trojan found”. These messages with unfamiliar logos will tell you there is something wrong with your computer and to download their protection service, when in actuality, you are downloading a virus and setting yourself up for information loss
