    especially those that ask for personal information. If you're not sure wether an email is legitimate, don't open it....and definitely don't click on its links.
  • If possible, contact the company or organization directly through a known and trusted channel before responding to any emails asking for personal information. You can also file a complaint with Federal Trade Commission or other federal agencies.
  • Finally, pay attention to the tone an dcontent of the email. Is it unusually urgent? Are there misspell words? Is there an offer that seems too good to be true? If it seems "Phishy", it probably is.
