Don't get hooked
· A sensible business should never send a message asking for personal details. Never follow links in an email message that directs you to take some action -- even if the message looks perfectly legitimate.
· If the message has a general salutation like "Dear Valued Customer" or "Please Confirm" instead of being specifically addressed to you by name, do not click any links.
· If there are spelling or grammar mistakes -- if the email just doesn't look professional, do not click any links.
· Hover your mouse pointer over links in the body of the email. The real destination of the links should be displayed. If the address looks strange or unlikely, do not click any of the links.
· If you just can't resist checking out an urgent request or warning use your browser go directly to the proported Web site directly, or contact the organization by phone.
