Below is information about current financial scams and tips on how to avoid them:
Phishing
Phishing is a scam where you receive fraudulent e-mails or texts that seem to be from a known organization or company (Financial Institution, Amazon, Wal-Mart, etc.). They usually ask you to verify personal information such as your Social Security Number, credit card information, or passwords. After this, scammers will take that information and attempt to access your accounts, charge your credit cards, or even apply for new loans.
TIP: You should always contact a company based on information from their official website, do not go off information received via unsolicited links in e-mails or text messages.
Pharming
Pharming is a cyberattack that typically comes in the form of a virus or malicious software that is installed on your computer. When you use the internet, the software will redirect to a fraudulent website without you realizing it. The scammer will try to capture any sensitive information you enter on that website.
TIP: Do not open attachments or click on links if you did not request information or do not recognize the sender.
