Phishing Scams What is “Phishing?” “Phishing” is a type of identity theft where criminals blast emails to a mass audience in their malicious attempt to bait you into fake websites. You’ll then be asked to disclose confidential financial and personal information, passwords, credit card numbers along with any other highly confidential questions. The most common type of phishing scam is an email threatening serious consequences if you do not log in and take immediate action. A bogus link is usually provided in that email which leads to a fake website identical to the bank’s website. Never respond to emails, open attachments, or click on suspicious links from reputable institutions or unknown senders asking for personal or financial information.
