You can protect yourself against phishing

Phishing is the illegal attempt to mislead consumers into providing personal or financial information, including account numbers, passwords and Social Security numbers, via email or through fraudulent Web sites.

The most frequent phishing attacks occur through emails disguised to appear as though they came from a reputable financial institution or company.

Most phishing attempts urge you to update or validate your account information, typically through a link in an email directing you to a fake Web site that appears to be legitimate.

A phishing attack can be detected

While there are many phishing attacks active on the Internet, there are some typical characteristics:

• An email contains an “urgent” tone requesting your immediate action on an account-related matter.
• An email is sent from a user falsely claiming to be a legitimate company with an attachment. An unsolicited email attachment more than likely contains a virus. Do not open it.
• A pop-up window appears from a user falsely claiming to be a legitimate company’s Web site asking for personal information.

If you are a victim of identity theft, here are some recommended steps:

• Contact the fraud departments of your financial institution to dispute unauthorized charges. Describe your identity theft problem and follow up with a letter.
• File a report with your local police department and ask to file a report. This may help when clearing your credit.
