How do I spot a phishing email?
• The email doesn’t specify your name. "Dear Customer" isn’t an identifier.
• The email asks you to confirm personal information that you normally do not disclose.
Signs of a scam
• You are being pressured to act immediately. Scammers may pose as someone or an organization you know and say there is a problem that needs immediate attention. DO NOT act unless you have verified the person who has contacted you is legitimate.
• You're asked to provide personal information and/or verification codes. When in doubt, DO NOT disclose this type of information. Most organizations will not ask for this information when conducting business with you.
• You're asked to pay or submit payment in an unusual way. Be wary if you are asked to pay by gift cards, payment apps, or digital currency.
