Phishing

You receive an email that seems to come from a familiar site or official body (bank, tax, cif, ameli).

This email is intentionally alarmist. Examples include a soon-to-expire account, a parcel you received, or a refund you need to receive.

You are prompted to click on a page to fill in your personal data. This data will then be retrieved by the phisher, who will use it to make purchases or bank transactions.

No administration or business asks for your banking data or password.

Do not reply to the email or click on the link contained in the message.

You can report a phishing attempt on the Phishing Initiative website. This will feed into the baselines of key browsers to block access to these sites.

You can also report phishing to the police on the reporting website (Pharos).

Report illegal internet content (internet-reporting: Pharos)
