Protect Yourself from
Internet Phishing:
Phishing is one of the fastest growing
internet fraud scams. This scam uses a bogus email to trick consumers
into sharing their personal financial information such as social
security numbers and bank account numbers including their passwords.
Financial institutions, government agencies, retailers and many other
organizations have seen their website graphics, corporate logos and
other materials stolen by people intending to cause harm.
These emails often look very professional and legitimate. Please take
the highest precaution if you receive an email doing the following:
 |
Asks for personal private information such as your bank account
number, an account password, credit card number, PIN number or Social
Security number; |
 |
Fails to address you by your name; |
 |
Warns that if you do not comply, your account will be shut down unless
you reconfirm your financial information; and |
 |
Has spelling or grammatical errors. |
First

information. Protecting the privacy and confidentiality of your personal

practice to safeguard your information with the highest level of
security.
