Be careful in emails that asks for your personal information
Be careful in mails in your inbox that asks for your personal information and account information. This scam is called the “phishing scam,” where opportunistic online criminals bait your for freebies in exchange for your personal and account information. The common ones are those that ask to correct your personal information in their database. No reputable bank or company will do such thing through email.
Never trust links sent by random names you don’t know
These links may be bait to get a hold of your personal information, account information, corrupt your computer with virus or malwares, etc. One thing online criminals can’t fake are the website address of a bank or company it portrays. Instead of clicking the link from bogus and suspicious emails, search the web addressing using the search engine and find out the real one. Ask the company (the email sender said he/she comes from) about the email through phone or email.
Never open or respond to emails that sounds too good to be true
This is one of the most common scams online, you can even easily see these scams in the form of clickable ads in various sites you visit. You can easily spot these types of emails, ones that say you won something. Well, if you haven’t join anything, raffles, contests, etc., how in earth is someone willing to give you a prize? Never believe that someone out there, that you don’t even know, will give you money or free stuff, especially in exchange for your personal information.
