Don’t get hooked when they go Phishing
30, January, 2006 Immediate release
Don’t get hooked when they go Phishing
A new scam has hit the internet in the form of Phishing and all they have to do to make you a victim, is ask you for your details.
Phishing entails sending out phoney e-mails in order to obtain your personal details, making stealing from their victims like taking candy from a baby.
The spam e-mails sent look very professional and can easily represent a site you are genuinely a member of. The scam artists simply imply that there has been an error in their system and ask you to confirm your log on details and password for their records.
The term Phishing originates from the statistics that most of the criminals involved in the scam get very few bites and there are many ways to ensure that you do not become a victim.
Most importantly be aware that no reputable bank or website should be sending you e-mail’s requesting that you confirm your details due to an error on their system.
If you are unsure of the validity of an e-mail always contact them directly to confirm that the e-mail received asking you to confirm your details has been sent from the proper authorities.
Most importantly, ensure that you are in control of your own finances. Accounting Software is the ideal way to guarantee that you know where your money has gone and allows you to recognise immediately, any dubious transactions that have taken place. Monitoring your own accounts allows you to take action over any discretion as soon as your statement arrives.
