Phishing.. my way to the Top!


Phishing – Popular Name for Identity Fraud! Beware

Online Identity Fraud also known as "Phishing" (pronounced "fishing") occurs when fraudsters pose as trusted organization and send out thousands of fraudulent e-mails to random e-mail addresses. The aim of such mails is to try to lure you to fake websites, where you're asked to disclose confidential financial information, like your credit card, account numbers, login details etc.

The number and sophistication of phishing scams sent out to consumers is increasing dramatically.

What is Phishing? While there are hundreds of variations, phishing generally comes in one of these variants:

· A warning of unauthorized access to your account, or notification of fraudulent activity on your account
· A threat to close or suspend your account if you do not take immediate action and provide personal information
· Notification of changes to online banking due to a merger, a software system upgrade, or a security alert
· Notification of a software or security upgrade to our online services

This is for the awareness of everybody.
