WHAT IS PHISHING?
Phishing attempts are attempts to get valuable
personal information from people via the
internet.
 Attempts usually come in the form of e-mails or
instant messages.
 Often the message will try to replicate the look
and feel of that of a trusted source to lead the
user to a fake website.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
If you get an e-mail that seems weird, do not
follow its instructions.
 Roll your mouse over whatever link that is
provided and check to make sure that the link
is legitimate.
 When in doubt, discard the e-mail. If it is an
urgent issue you can always call your bank or
online payment source for details.
