- phishing (luring using email) and smishing (luring via text message) are fraud schemes, which criminals use to elicit funds, obtain credit card data, personal information, or install malware on computers and electronic devices
- never respond to emails or text messages from unknown sources, and avoid opening attachments or clicking on links from senders you do not recognize
- reputable and established online businesses utilize encryption to protect personal identifiers and payment information transmitted to and from your computer or device, look for the lock icon next to a website address in your browser.
- always verify website addresses by manually typing them into your web browser, or access websites from internet searches
- when shopping from your phone, choose vetted apps from trusted businesses and download apps only from an authorized app store.
Remember, if the offer sounds too good to be true, then it probably is.
