Criminals send out fake emails that appear to be from real businesses, hoping to reach customers. These emails are called phishing emails. It's one of the ways criminals try to trick customers into giving personal information like account numbers and passwords. Phishing emails don't just target bank account holders. Be on the lookout for fake emails from fraudsters pretending to be online retailers, utility companies and other businesses that use secure login systems.

Do not open email attachments or click links in emails if you do not personally know the sender. Instead of clicking a link in an email, type the URL directly in your browser or use favorites/bookmarks to access the website.
