How to Protect Your Finances from Phishing
Imagine this scenario. You get an email that appears to be from your bank. You open it and read a message riddled with misspelled words that direct you to “click the link below.” You click on the link and are taken to a page that looks almost exactly like the website you’re used to visiting.
Almost.
This type of scam is what’s known as phishing, and hopefully, it’s never happened to you. Or, if it has, hopefully you recognized the warning signs and knew to stay away. Unfortunately, many people don’t recognize those signs, and fall prey to a particularly insidious form of fraud that can be very damaging to your finances.
