Internet Fraud

IMPORTANT INTERNET FRAUD ALERT !

Internet "Phishing" Scams

Phishers spam users with e-mails posing as legitimate messages from sources such as banks, credit card companies, and retailers. Links in the messages draw recipients to bogus Web sites which are crafted to closely mimic the real deal, where they're asked to divulge personal financial information. Typically, phishing messages demand users update account data, which can include credit card and bank account numbers. The attackers then purloin the information and use it to purchase goods or transfer funds out of the user's account.

A new internet Phishing fraud scheme has surfaced involving fake e-mail messages from e-Bay ®.

You may receive an E-mail that appears to be from e-Bay, the internet auction company. This message requests your Credit / Debit card information. You may receive it even if you have never dealt with e-Bay. Do NOT respond to that message, it is a FRAUD, attempting to steal your credit information. Legitimate businesses, including e-Bay, NEVER request Credit or other confidential information by E-mail.  Be on the alert for other similar scams.

For more information on the e-bay scam please visit  http://pages.ebay.com/education/spooftutorial/
