OHANLON: Re: Your Internet Banking

Thanks, Mike,

I can't believe what lengths people will go to in order to steal! Very sad...and it's scary, too, how realistic these emails look.

Love to you all!

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!

Love,
Grit

Guys,

Penny and I got this today and it looks like a technique called "phishing". Phishing is a way for someone to try to get your banking and personal information. They send an official looking email to you and ask you to click on a link (see message below - I've deleted the link). If you go to the link, they will try to get you to give them information, like your banking passwords, credit card number, and 3-digit security code from the back of your credit cards. Don't go to links like this.

I sent this information on to TCU, and to 2 government agencies. The government has a website to tell you what to do in these instances. Here it is: http://onguardonline.gov/index.html

Love and God Bless

Mike
