< 1 min read

Below are a few suggestions to help protect yourself and others from potential phishing scams:


  1. 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.
  2. Never click on links or open attachments in unsolicited emails. Instead, type the URL directly in the address bar.
  3. Beware of suspicious websites with typos or those that originate from unknown websites.
  4. Remember that scams can look legitimate, always double-check any website or message source, insuring the URL is correct and secure.
  5. Keep your software up-to-date, antivirus programs and firewalls are the best defense against malicious attacks.
  6. Do not give out personal information, including login credentials, to any unknown source.
