About Fraudulent Email

Many fraudulent email messages can be easy to spot. Urgent appeals, misspelled words and unfamiliar addresses are all indicative of a phony email. However, you should be aware that the criminals who use these techniques to gain access to your personal information have become increasingly sophisticated.

Although they can be difficult to spot, these "phishing" emails generally ask you to click a link to a fake website and provide, update or confirm sensitive personal information. To encourage you, the message may refer to an urgent or threatening condition concerning your account.

Even if you don't see any obvious signs that a suspicious email message or website is fraudulent, please contact us immediately.
