phishing


	phishing
Dosquatch	A scam wherein a nefarious individual or organization sends you an email that appears to be from a financial institution, with a link to a web page asking for your account number(s) and password(s). If everybody will just tell me the name of their financial institution and their account information, I'll be happy to check and see if you've been hit :) No, seriously, the emails are very professional, as are the sites that you are sent to. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS. DO NOT FOLLOW THE LINK. Your financial institution should never ask for personal information via email. If you receive any sort of "update your account info" email, be it from a bank, ebay, Ultima Online or whatever, your best bet is to delete the email and either type in the address of the account provider manually or follow a trusted bookmark.	040615

dosquatch	Heck, most banks I've dealt with won't even give you that info over the phone. You can call and ask, but all they'll do is send snail mail to the address on record.	040615
