Recognizing phishing scams and fraudulent e-mail
Phishing e-mail messages are designed to steal your identity. They ask for personal data, or direct you to web
sites or phone numbers to call where they ask you to provide personal data.
They might appear to come from your bank or financial institution, a company you regularly do business with,
such as Fox Valley Internet or from a social networking site.
They might appear to be from someone you know or regularly receive emails from. Targeted phishing is a targeted
form of phishing in which an e-mail
message might look like it comes from your employer, or from a colleague who might send an e-mail message to
everyone in the company, such as the head of human resources or IT.
They might include official-looking logos and other identifying information taken directly from legitimate web
sites, and they might include convincing details about your personal information that scammers found on your social
networking pages.
They might include links to spoofed web sites where you are asked to enter personal information.
