Beware of Phishing
Phishing is a type of deception designed to obtain and use your personal data (such as account number, date of birth, address, etc.) for fraudulent purposes.
Con artists might send thousands of fraudulent e-mail messages that appear to come from Websites you trust, like your bank or brokerage company, and request that you provide personal information via e-mail or on an illegitimate Website created by them for this purpose.
Tips to Protect Yourself from Phishing
If you receive a suspicious e-mail that appears to be from AB Invest, please do the following:
- Do not respond to the message, or click on any of the links, or change the e-mail in any way.
- Contact us immediately and delete the e-mail after reporting it.
- Check to make sure that your virus definitions and anti-spyware are up-to-date and scan the computer, especially if you accidentally clicked on the link or attachment in the e-mail.
Other Tips to Safeguard Your Personal Information
- Exercise extreme caution when browsing the internet. Only personal information when it involves a transaction you initiate and on Websites you trust.
- Always use a secure Website when submitting personal information online. Look for the Security Certificate before entering your personal information.
- Check your account data and information regularly to monitor your account activity and detect any fraudulent transactions if any.
- If using cable modems or DSL for Internet access, do not keep the connection active when not in use; also consider installing personal firewall software.
