The most infamous one atrepparttar moment is so a called 'phishing' scam. In a nutshell it looks like this:

You get an email that looks like it was sent from your bank. They ask you to log in to your online account and verify some of your details. For your convenience, there is a link included right inrepparttar 110982 email. All you have to do is click on it an log in. Don't ever!

The moment you click on that link and log in,repparttar 110983 scam artists have your login ID and password recorded. This will enable them to log in to your account and within hours, or days, your account will be cleaned out!.

There are two common-sense approaches to deal with this.

First, you have to realise that your bank already has allrepparttar 110984 details they need to operate your online account. If they didn't, you wouldn't be able to open it inrepparttar 110985 first place. So, you can most likely quite safely deleterepparttar 110986 email and forget about it.

Secondly, if you have any doubts as torepparttar 110987 authenticity ofrepparttar 110988 email, you can getrepparttar 110989 bank's phone number from your local phone book and give them a call. Tell them aboutrepparttar 110990 email you received and ask if they tried to contact you. I bet they are going to be as surprised as you are.

And just remember: Whatever you do, never, ever, log in to your bank account, or any other sensitive account for that matter, right from an email.
