E-mail Fraud/Phishing Information
The term "phishing" – as in fishing for confidential information - refers to a
scam that encompasses fraudulently obtaining and using an individual's personal
or financial information. This is how it works:
- A consumer receives an e-mail which appears to
originate from a financial institution, government agency, or other
well-known/reputable entity.
- The message describes an urgent reason you must
"verify" or "re-submit" personal or confidential information by clicking
on a link embedded in the message.
- The provided link appears to be the Web site of the
financial institution, government agency or other well-known/reputable
entity, but in "phishing" scams, the Web site belongs to the
fraudster/scammer.
- Once inside the fraudulent Web site, the consumer may
be asked to provide Social Security numbers, account numbers, passwords
or other information used to identify the consumer, such as the maiden
name of the consumer's mother or the consumer's place of birth.
When the consumer provides the information, those perpetrating the fraud can
begin to access consumer accounts or assume the person's identity. REMEMBER: The
Bank of Venice will never send you an email asking for any personal or
financial information nor to verify any passwords, PIN numbers, ATM/Debit Card
information, Social Security number or bank account number. If you receive an
email asking you for this information, do not respond to the email. Contact us immediately at
866-485-3699.
