We have listed a few topics, however please research for more information online regarding potential online fraud or concerns. Phishing Alert:Phishing is when someone sends you an email from a fraudulent site pretending to be a trusted site such as your bank, a government agency or a website you have previously visited. The email will request that you reply to the email message or click on a link in that message where you will be asked to provide your log in information or other types of private personal information. These fraudulent sites will look very much like the site they are imitating. Pharming or Spoofing:Pharming or Spoofing is when someone creates a "Shadow copy" of a legitimate website you have visited. Unknown to you, your request is redirected to a fraudulent site which will look the same as the legitimate website. The fraudulent site will collect your user name and password along with your activities at this site. They may also send you an email from what appears to be the legitimate site requesting additional private information. Things to remember:
