Scam Alert: Internet Phishing
October 21, 2007
Phishing is a term that means getting your personal information by deception and possibly using the information to steal your identity. A common phishing scheme comes through your email and disguises itself as a bank that needs to update your personal information. Some phishing schemes will offer to put money into your bank account for answering a survey. No matter how legitimate the message looks, never send personal information over the internet unless you initiate the contact.
