Examples of Phishing Messages . . .

Phishing (first part)

When internet fraudsters impersonate a business to trick you into giving out your personal information, it’s called phishing. Don't reply to email, text, or pop-up messages that ask for your personal or financial information. Don’t click on links within them either – even if the message seems to be from an organization you trust. It isn’t. Legitimate businesses don’t ask you to send sensitive information through insecure channels.

 

Examples of Phishing Messages (second part)

You open an email or text, and see a message like this:

 

"We suspect an unauthorized transaction on your account. To ensure that your account is not compromised, please click the link below and confirm your identity."

 

"During our regular verification of accounts, we couldn't verify your information. Please click here to update and verify your information."

 

“Our records indicate that your account was overcharged. You must call us within 7 days to receive your refund.”

 

The senders are phishing for your information so they can use it to commit fraud.

 

cheers
