A short guide to recognizing and avoiding phishing scams.
You've probably seen it. You receive an email from your bank or trusted company and it's asking you for information.
00:00:00
It looks real, but it's designed to fool you into handing over important information.
00:00:07
This is a scam called phishing, and you need to avoid it.
00:00:12
This is phishing scams in plain English.
00:00:16
Most of us have gotten used to doing business online. We buy and sell things.
00:00:20
We have accounts with sensitive information.
00:00:26
The risk of doing business online is low as long as you deal directly with organizations you trust.
00:00:29
Problems occur when criminals impersonate these organizations
00:00:35
and fool you into handing over sensitive information like account numbers, passwords, and PIN numbers.
00:00:39
The key to avoiding this scam is awareness.
00:00:46
Here's one example. You receive an email that looks like a trustworthy message from a bank.
00:00:50
It asks you to click a link to verify information.
00:00:55
You assume it's legit, so you click the link and log in to what appears to be your bank's website.
00:00:59
At this point, the scam is complete.
00:01:05
You've handed over your bank password to the crooks who can use it to take your money.
00:01:07
Boo!
00:01:12
They were able to fool you by impersonating the bank's website.
00:01:14
There are a few keys to detecting phishing emails.
00:01:18
They often try to scare you by saying your account has been accessed or security has been compromised.
00:01:21
They also insist that you click a link to verify information or fill out a form.
00:01:27
Do not click links or fill out forms in suspicious emails.
00:01:32
The email may also have misspellings and call you something like valued customer.
00:01:36
The crooks don't know your name.
00:01:41
Remember, phishing emails may use the exact same logos, phone numbers, and addresses that appear on your statements or bills.
00:01:43
Always be suspicious of an email that asks for your information.
00:01:50
No exceptions.
00:01:54
If you receive a phishing email, stay calm.
00:01:56
There's no risk to receiving it.
00:01:59
Just delete it.
00:02:01
You can also safely report it by forwarding it to reportphishing at antiphishing.org or spam at uce.gov.
00:02:02
If an email does lead you to a suspicious website, remember to look at the web address.
00:02:13
The address in your browser should look familiar.
00:02:18
If you suspect that criminals have your information, immediately contact organizations where you have accounts.
00:02:22
To protect yourself in the long run, you might also consider anti-phishing software.
00:02:28
Further, check your online accounts and credit reports regularly and quickly report anything that is out of place.
00:02:33
Phishing scams are a growing threat on the Internet.
00:02:40
By being aware of the scam, you can feel confident in working with companies online.
00:02:43
Yay!
