Email phishing and spoof mail is not this easy to spot but I still get more than five a week. Spotting phishing and spoof emails can be harder than you think. I have received emails from all kinds of different banks and creditors hoping get me to bite, phishing, but I do not answer any email using the link supplied by whoever is behind the email. I have also received a couple of phone calls and been told that my account information needs to be verified or my account will be closed. This is also considered phishing as they are trying to get information from me about my accounts. My first response to this was giving me your phone number and name and I will call you back. Suddenly the line went dead. I would also ask them my account information that they have displayed if they are calling me, not the other way around. If a bank is having a problem with your account, they use your account number to identify you, not your name. So how did they get a hold of any information about your account that may need to be verified or changed? If they would still be on the line I would ask them other information about the reason for them calling me and not telling me to go to my local office. After all, if it's so important for them to call me than they can suspend my account till I get into the office or bank and straighten out whatever problem is going on. Their phishing for information from me, that's why they want me to give them whatever they can get over the phone. Whether they agree to this or not doesn't matter because I'm not giving them any information, even my address or full name. They are attempting to get information from me by phishing for it.
