Don’t Get Reeled In by Phishers

Phishing is a tactic that scammers use to try to gain personal details about you or get access to your private accounts and data. They use a lure that will catch your attention, whether it’s through an email, a text, or a chat message online, and will either try to convince you to give some kind of personal information or click a link. Some of the most common signs of phishing scams are:

• Suspicious combinations of name, email address, and domain in an email

• Messages sent with only a link (and a weird looking one at that)

• Emails asking you to log back into an account or system

• Emails or messages saying you’ve won something and the site needs more information to get you your prize

• Emails asking for help or money

The list continues to grow as scammers think of more ways to try and lure others in to providing personal information or clicking on a malicious link. Don’t fall for anything that makes you think “This is weird . . . ”—weird usually means scam.
