Phishing Scam E-mails

The email claiming to be from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and instructing you to provide information to enroll in an FDIC protection system appears to be a phishing scam.  Phishing e-mails are e-mails from scam artists who use official looking webpages designed to trick you into believing they are from a corporate website that you have an account with.  Once you are at the site, they will ask you to provide or verify personal information such as bank account information, credit card information, social security information and password information.  If you get such an e-mail, you should delete it and do not provide any of the requested information.  However, if you are not convinced that you have a fraudulent e-mail, please contact the FDIC directly and explain the e-mail you received.  If you give out any personal information, contact the FDIC immediately and depending on what information you gave out, it may be wise to take measures to protect against identity theft (e.g. contact credit agencies, close accounts, cleanse computer).   Many email solicitations that appear to be phishing emails are set forth throughout this website and below:

The FDIC protects you against the loss of your insured deposits in the unlikely event that an FDIC-insured institution fails. If you or your family's deposit accounts at one FDIC-insured institution total $100,000 or less, your funds are fully insured. If you or your family has more than $100,000 at one insured institution, you can still be fully insured if your accounts meet certain requirements.
 

The FDIC insures deposits in most banks and savings associations located in the United States. Deposit accounts maintained in separately chartered banks are separately insured by the FDIC, even if the banks are affiliated, such as belonging to a common holding company. All deposit accounts maintained by a depositor at one bank are insured separately from accounts that the same depositor maintains at a different, separately chartered bank.
