Phishing is a common online scam designed to trick you into disclosing your personal or financial information for the purpose of financial fraud or identity theft.
While you may think you are giving your information to a valid company, instead you are providing it to a fraudster!
You received a phishing email simply because your email address has ended up in the hands of a fraudster.
Email addresses are easily obtained and shared on the Internet – just like phone numbers and mailing addresses. But, other than having your email address, it is unlikely the fraudster knows anything else about you – not even your name.
So, these fraudsters need to do three things to be successful.
Click on the above tabs to learn how you can protect yourself against this type of scam!
