Phishing Scam E-mails
The email claiming to be from Western Union and notifying you to
confirm information to restore your account access
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 Western Union directly and explain the e-mail
you received. If you give out any personal information, contact Western Union
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 e-mail
solicitations that
appear to be phishing e-mails are set forth throughout this website and
below:
