Be wise when banking online.
Fraudsters can gain access to your computer through scam emails. Here are some things to be aware of:
| DO | DON’T |
| Double check a suspicious sender before you open or reply to an email | Open emails from people or organisations you don’t know or trust |
| Scan all email attachments for viruses | Click on any link in an email that asks you to respond with personal information |
| Always delete your junk mail | Click on an email link from an unknown sender that asks you to pay bills or log onto a secure service |
| Use a preview pane within your email account – this is the equivalent to opening an email automatically | |
|
If you frequently receive suspicious or unsolicited emails, consider installing a spam filter or getting that service from your internet service provider. |
Some viruses forward infected mail to entries in an address book. Therefore, you can also get an infected attachment from someone you know.
