INFORMATION ABOUT PHISHING


What is it?

A type of e-mail in which the sender is pretending to be from a legitimate organisation, putting that organisation’s name in the ‘From’ field of the message, in an attempt to scam you in to replying to this e-mail and giving up personal information, such as bank/credit card details.

These e-mails are deceptive as the scammers often use logos and images from the legitimate companies, as well as frequently directing you to a spoof website to fill in your details.

What's more, the scammers use fear to try and get the details from you, saying, for example, that your account will be closed if you do not respond immediately.

What should I do? 

  1. DO NOT click on the links within the e-mail.
  2. Delete the message immediately.
  3. If you feel that the e-mail may be genuine, log in to the company’s actual website, outside the e-mail, by typing in the correct URL address. Here you will be able to check your account details.
