Protect Yourself Against Phishing

Phishing usually comes in the form of fraudulent emails that appear to come from legitimate sources. These ask customers to verify personal information or link to counterfeit Web sites that appear real.

Watch for emails that:

• Urge you to act quickly because your account may be suspended or closed, or to update your personal information.
• Don’t address you by name, but use a more generic one like “Dear valued customer.”
• Ask for account numbers, passwords, Access IDs, or other personal information.
