What is an email scam?
There are many types of email scams. A common type of email fraud involves the use of phony emails called phishing emails that ask you to provide sensitive personal, financial or account information. You may be asked to supply the information in a return email, in a separate form attached to the email or by visiting a phony website using a link contained in the email message. The people attempting to get this information may use it to access your accounts directly, including withdrawing money, or to open new accounts in your name using your information.
