5 Ways To Prevent Phishing

The Internet Crime Complaint Center offers some advice for dealing with phishing:
  1. Be suspicious of any unsolicited email that requests personal information.
  2. Avoid filling out forms that ask for personal information.
  3. Always compare the link in email to the web address that you are directed to.
  4. Open a new browser window/ tab and log on to the official website, instead of clicking on a link from an unsolicited email.
  5. Contact the business that supposedly sent the email to verify if the email is genuine.
