TIPS TO AVOID PHISHING SCAMS
• Don’t click on links or attachments in suspicious e-mails or text messages. Always type the website address into your browser directly.
• Set up a spam filter. A spam filter can reduce the number of phishing e-mails you receive.
• Do not enter your confidential data in any window that may pop-up while you are carrying out a financial transaction online.
• Do not transact or share confidential data on non-https websites.
• Do not open e-mails or attachments in e-mails sent from people you don’t know.
• Change your passwords regularly. Unlike your credit card, your password does not have to be physically stolen in order to be used to access your information, so it is hard to know when your password has been stolen.
