Phishing & Spoofing

Phishing scams target consumers by “spoofing” emails and websites. Here’s how it works:

Learn More

You receive an email message, asking you to click on a link in order to update some sensitive personal information.
The link will redirect you to a “spoofed” website, which is designed to look like a legitimate website.
The website will ask you to input personal information such as your account numbers, PINs , or a social security number.
Poor grammar and misspelled words from unknown sources asking you for personal information are clear warning signs of a phishing scam being operated outside of the United States.
Phishing emails may also be fake contests or offerings, asking you to input personal information.
If an offer or email you receive is too good to be true, it most likely is.
