Phishing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Phishing scams try to get you to volunteer some personal information, such as Social Security or bank account numbers. They\u2019re one of the most common dangers of the Internet, coming in the form of hundreds of millions of spam emails sent every day to users all around the world. These emails act like real emails from your bank, but are fake and dangerous. Remember that your bank will never request your passwords, account numbers or other info through an email message.
