Below are a few suggestions to help protect yourself and others from potential phishing scams:
- Be wary of emails, texts, or calls from unknown numbers or requests for confidential information. Contact the sender through other means if you're suspicious.
- Never click on links or open attachments in unsolicited emails. Instead, type the URL directly in the address bar.
- Beware of suspicious websites with typos or those that originate from unknown websites.
- Remember that scams can look legitimate, always double-check any website or message source, insuring the URL is correct and secure.
- Keep your software up-to-date, antivirus programs and firewalls are the best defense against malicious attacks.
- Do not give out personal information, including login credentials, to any unknown source.
