Public Service Reminder
Scammers use email or text messages to try to steal your passwords, account numbers, or Social Security numbers. If they get that information, they could get access to your email, bank, or other accounts. Or they could sell your information to other scammers. Scammers launch thousands of phishing attacks like these every day — and they’re often successful.
If you get a suspicious email or text, STOP and look carefully before clicking anything. For further tips to avoid falling for one of these scams, check the Federal Trade Commission info page to learn more at: How To Recognize and Avoid Phishing Scams | Consumer Advice
