Keep your eyes peeled for online scams

Beware of spoof email claiming to be from eBay, PayPal, or a bank or a company you trust asking for personal or sensitive information. This is called phishing. The e mail may inform you that there is a problem with your account/password. There may be a link to click inside. Forward any of these e mails to the company it claims to be sent from. They will confirm whether the e mail you received was real or not. Also, bear in mind that e mail programs like Yahoo!, MSN, Hotmail and Gmail will never ask you for your e mail password. Dont fall for it. Read How to Protect Yourself from Phishing Scams for more information.
