Crime Prevention Commission: About Phishing

October is cyber security month in the U.S., and in recognition of that, we are going to take some time over the next few weeks to explain some basic threats and terms that everyone needs to know to keep themselves safe online.

Phishing is when a fraudster sends you texts, emails, or other messages with the intent of tricking you into responding in some way. Scammers will often include a malicious attachment or link in the message. If you open the attachment or click on the link, the scammer can gain access to your device.

What can you do?

Protect your devices by using anti-virus and anti-malware software. Set the software to update automatically.
Don’t assume that a message that looks like it is from a friend or business associate is real. Call or email the person or company to confirm before ever clicking on a link or opening an attachment.
Most importantly, if you have any doubt—don’t click.

If you have been a victim of this online scam or any other fraud, report it to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov or call your local FBI office.
