Many people see email as a convenient and effective way to receive information. Popular banks have even started using email as a primary method of communication to send account updates to their customers. Now, cybercriminals are imitating banks in their phishing emails to try to manipulate you and steal your sensitive information. To start the scam, cybercriminals send you an exact copy of a real bank email to appear legitimate. The email states that your bank is implementing new security measures that will affect your account. Then, the email provides a link that you can click for more information. This link will redirect you to a spoofed login webpage. If you enter your login credentials, cybercriminals will be able to use them to access your bank account and steal your money. Follow the tips below to help you stay safe from similar scams:
