To make a
phishing e-mail seem more legitimate, scammers are now
using common language from banks such as:
Please remember that we will never ask for personal account information via email or web pages.
This gets you to lower your guard. Instead of having a web address to click on, they set up a phone number for you to call. If you call the number a savvy scammer will get you to provide as much information as they can get.
Don't fall for this stuff. If you
ever recieve something that sounds like there's a problem with your accounts or credit cards, go to their website directly or call their regular phone number. Never depend on links, phone numbers, or any other information sent to you in an e-mail.
