  Today, Shirley Becker gave a small presentation on phishing. Telling members what damage it can do and what to look for in your emails or phone calls.  Remember a bank will never email you data a Phishing person asks, if in doubt, first always call the bank and ask. I myself have never found the bank to do this and they say it is not their policy  to email you for the types of information Phishing people ask.

  1. You can call your bank and verify if they sent it.  

  2. You can contact what ever company asked for this information by sending it back to them asking for another form of verification,  Never click on an open link in unknown mail NEVER.

  3. When I receive mail with links or files I write the person to verify they sent data before opening it.

   4. Yes, I have received some great information over the internet but one must use caution at all times so ask first.

   5. Caution caution caution, watch her CC or bank statements for unknown charges.
