Awareness is the best defence we have against the actions of these fraudsters. A decent spot to begin is by understanding \u201cphishing scams\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The term \u201cphishing\u201d refers to the technique used to obtain personal and sensitive information. This could include anything from your PIN number, credit card details, account details, usernames, passwords and more. Once these fraudsters get their hands on this sensitive information, they have free reign to perform all sorts of illegal transactions at your expense. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>How Do I Know I\u2019m a Victim of Phishing Scams?<\/h3>\n<p>At 3E Accounting, we do our best to warn our clients to stay vigilant. This Phishing Email Advisory, for example, is one such measure of educating our clients on the tell-tale indicators you\u2019ve fallen victim to online scams.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the signs of email phishing include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fake emails claiming to be from the bank, service provider or some sort of credit card company.<\/li>\n<li>Emails disguised as \u201cofficial\u201d emails that ask you to \u201cconfirm\u201d certain sensitive or personal information for vague reasons.<\/li>\n<li>Emails that contain links to duplicate websites that closely resemble the original. Sometimes, even experts have difficulty distinguishing real websites from the fake ones.<\/li>\n<li>Emails that contain Trojans, viruses or worms that detect every keystroke, making it easy to capture sensitive information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>By embedding your details on these fake websites, you\u2019ve become the next victim of these email phishing scams.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Protect Yourself and Stay Safe<\/h3>\n<p>As per our Phishing Email Advisory, here are some ways to stay safe online:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Key it the full address of any website in your browser.
