Phishing Emails

Phishing Emails

Phishing EmailsLook out for phishing emails asking you to verify your personal information in order to receive an economic stimulus check from the government. While talk of economic stimulus checks has been in the news cycle, government agencies are not sending unsolicited emails seeking your private information in order to send you money.

Phishing emails may also claim to be related to:
 * Charitable contributions
 * General financial relief
 * Airline carrier refunds
 * Fake cures and vaccines
 * Fake testing kits

 




If you believe you are the victim of an Internet scam or cyber crime, or if you want to report suspicious activity, please visit the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at https://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx.
