4. No "Phishing"
Phishing is a form of Internet fraud that involves thieves sending email or pop-up messages to trick individuals into providing their personal information, like account numbers and passwords. These fraudsters are sophisticated and may appear to be a bank or other financial institution that you deal with.
• Never respond to an email or pop-up message that asks for your personal or financial information. Legitimate companies will not ask for this information.
• Never click on the link in these messages. Fraudsters can make the link look like its going to your financial institution, but in fact it's going to a different site.
