Don't get hooked by a Phishing expedition

• Don't reply to email or pop-up messages that ask for personal or financial information, and don't click on links in the message.
• Don't cut and paste a link from the message into your Web browser -- phishers can make links look like they go one place, but actually send you to a different site.
• Use anti-virus and anti-spyware software, as well as a two-way firewall, and update them all regularly.
• Don't send personal or financial information by email.
• Be cautious about opening any attachment or downloading any files from emails you receive regardless of who sent them.
