Phishing Scams
What is “Phishing?” “Phishing” is a type of identity theft where criminals blast emails to a mass audience in their malicious attempt to bait you into fake websites.

The most common type of phishing scam is an email threatening serious consequences if you do not log in and take immediate action. A bogus link is usually provided in that email which leads to a fake website identical to the bank’s website.
Never respond to emails, open attachments, or click on suspicious links from reputable institutions or unknown senders asking for personal or financial information.

Generally speaking, most institutions will never ask you to log in to their service for any particular reason. And even if you get an email asking you to sign in manually, don’t click the link in the email, just go to the institution’s website and sign in like you normally would. This will greatly decrease your chances of being “phished.”
