Three Simple Steps to Help
Protect You on the Internet |
|
|
|
Never respond to spam or phishing
emails. |
|
Do not even click on the links in the
email. Just delete the email. If you click on any link in the
email it is possible the criminals will be able to tell that you opened the
email. |
|
|
|
Never follow the instructions in
spam to be removed from their email list. |
|
This usually just results in more
spam because they know they have a "live" email address.) |
|
|
|
Never call a telephone number
listed in a spam email |
|
These may be international calls
using phone numbers which appear to be domestic. The cost per minute is
very high. The charges for a simple call could be in the hundreds
of dollars. |
