Preventing Phishing Scams & Identity Theft

Protecting your account and personal information is crucial in the online world. Phishing scams and identity theft are common threats. Here are simple steps to safeguard yourself:

Stay Alert:

• Watch for Suspicious Emails: Be cautious of emails asking for sensitive information or urgent action. Check sender addresses for legitimacy before clicking any links or providing details.

• Verify Requests: If you receive unexpected requests for personal or financial information, double-check with the official company channels through verified contacts.

Secure Your Account:

• Use Strong Passwords: Create unique and strong passwords for your accounts. Avoid using easily guessable information and consider using a password manager.
  
  
• Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Activate 2FA for an added layer of security. It requires a secondary code or confirmation to log in, even if your password is compromised.
