We continue to notice email phishing scams coming to our clients so we wanted to provide some information to everyone about what to watch out for.
Most phishing scams will ask you to verify your private information or login account information by filling out a form in a link or an attachment in the email. The email will try and scare you into thinking your account has been compromised or that you may lose access to your account if you do not respond. The email will attempt to look like its from a company you have done business with like a bank or email hosting company.
Be aware that we would never send out an email to our clients asking for this type of information. Neither would any other legitimate company. Also, the email will usually be just generic enough to try and look like its legitimate but if you look closely there are major clues that it is not from us.
