A phishing attempt usually is in the form of an e-mail that appears to be from your bank or financial institution, a company you regularly do business with (Paypal ,Ebay ,Visa ,domain etc) just to 'fish' for your details.
Phishing e-mail messages are designed to steal your identity. They ask for personal data, or direct you to Web sites or phone numbers to call where they ask you to provide personal data.
A phishing attempt usually is in the form of an e-mail that appears to be from your bank or financial institution, or a company you regularly do business with. Some times they also ask you to make a phone call. Phone phishing scams direct you to call a customer support phone number. A person or an audio response unit waits to take your account number, personal identification number, password, or other valuable personal data.
Here are a few phrases to look for if you think an e-mail message is a phishing scam.
- "If you don't respond within 48 hours, your account will be closed."
- "You have won the lottery."
- "Verify your account."
- "Click the link below to gain access to your account."
So take precaution and Never respond to emails that request personal financial information and never click on link given by them.
Reputable companies don't ask their customers for passwords or account details in an email. Even if you think the email may be legitimate, don't respond - contact the company by phone or by visiting their website by typing URL into the address bar.
