Al Lustie's Tips and Tricks

Suppose you receive an email from your bank asking you to confirm your account number, and maybe your social security number.  It's your bank, right?  They just want to confirm that they have the right email address for you.

WRONG!

Some nasty Offspring of a Nasty Dog is fishing for your information so he/she can steal from you.

• Steal your identity.
• Steal your savings.
• Steal your  credit rating.
• Steal your peace of mind.

It's called "Phishing".  It may come as a web site, an email, even a letter in the US Mail.

What can you do?

Two things will keep you safe.
1.  NEVER give out your bank information or your social security information.  NEVER.  NEVER!

2.  Report it to your local police or sherriff's office.  Most law enforcement offices want to keep track of stuff like that, and when they can they warn their taxpaying supporters and occasionally they can go after these nasty, nasty thieves.

Stay Safe.

I'd enjoy your comment.
