You've just received an E-Mail from a financial institution such as PayPal, a bank or a credit card company, and the Email claims that your account has been suspended, locked, suspicious activity has been detected, etc. and the only way of ensuring that your account remains secure is to log in with your account number and password credentials: guess what? Chances are you are witnessing first-hand a phishing scam (a method by which frauders will send out fake E-Mails claiming to be a financial institution such as PayPal, a bank or a credit card company, warning that if you do not provide your login credentials immediately, your account will be suspended, locked, terminated, etc. all in an effort to scare you into providing your personal information so that they can then use this information to log into your account and then either withdraw all the money that they can from your account or even assume and steal your identity in order to take out loans and mortgages in your name which will never be paid back: profiting them and ruining your credit and reputation.) The links in these warning E-Mails lead to spoof sites: a website designed to look exactly like the original financial institution's website, however all information provided on this website through logging in does not in fact log into your account, but rather provides your username, client card or account number and password directly to the criminals running this fraudulent website scheme; giving them complete access to your money and identity.
This video will show you how to detect such fraudulent E-Mails, and how to avoid falling into the crook's trap and becoming another victim to cyber crime and identity theft.
