Identity theft through emails
Hi everyone! I'm Heather DeMarco at the business desk and I'm going to start the week by passing on a warning to you re your emails.
When next you decide to send emails, pay very careful attention to what you're sending and to whom you're sending it. There are increasing numbers of emails that are turning up in our in boxes from senders who are posing as your financial institution, your utility company, and so on. These emails ask you to verify your banking details, your password, and your username among other things. Please ignore these emails because if you make the mistake to answer them there are those scammers who are just waiting at the other end to receive these emails and then they take the info that you've provided and use it to steal your personal information. You need to remember that as a golden rule your financial institution would never ask you to verify your account online and in like manner your utility company would never do the same because they all know and are very aware of those identity thieves.
Here's how it's working these days. An authentic looking email turns up in your in box asking you to verify your banking details and password by logging into a website and they provide you with a link to this website in the email. If you are naive enough to fall for this ploy you find yourself providing all kinds of personal banking details on the provided url and before you know it these identity thieves have taken your personal information and they are using it to reap havoc with your bank accounts. Never, never, give your banking details to any sender of these types of emails and do not fall to temptation and log onto the url that is provided in these emails. Just ignore these emails and delete them ASAP. Then report it to your financial institution.
Identity thieves are using emails to try and catch you napping but there's something that you can do about it. Ignore these emails and delete them. Many of these emails look very authentic and innocent but you must keep in mind that your banking or financial institution will probably never send you an email asking you to verify your personal banking details online. The same holds for any type of government agency.
On another note: Looking for ways to keep your kids occupied for the summer? Then you should think of introducing them to business ventures for kids. Believe it or not there are many companies looking for kids and teens to act as consultants. To learn more pick up a copy of "Untapped Wealth Discovered" written by Jeff Marquis and Kerry Harrison. These two authors have written a book that shows both parents and youngsters how to find those lucrative opportunities that allow everyone to use their creative juices to earn income.
