“Phishing” is an elaborate online scam that is increasingly common. The “phisher” sends out spam email that appears to come from a legitimate financial institution or online business. The email asks you to provide the company with personal information such as passwords or account numbers. Always be very suspicious of such emails: contact the named institution directly using a telephone number or email address not listed on the email.
