Tips to Protect Your Information 

  • Do not download any attachments in the message. Attachments may contain malware such as viruses, worms or spyware. 
  • Do not click links that appear in the message. Links in phishing messages direct you to fraudulent websites. 
  • Do not reply to the sender. Ignore any requests from the sender and do not call any phone numbers provided in the message. 
  • If you receive a phone call that seems to be a phishing attempt hang up or end the call. Be aware that area codes can be misleading.
  • Financial institutions and legitimate companies will never call you to request your personal information. Never give personal information to the incoming caller.
