Be on High Alert For Spam Emails

If you receive a suspicious email asking for personal information (passwords, usernames, etc.) it is SPAM and please block it at e-scout.atcnet.net. 

Spam emails often look like they’re from a company you know and trust. They may look like they’re from a bank, a credit card company, a social networking site, or a store you’ve done business with in the past. They’ll often tell a story and attempt to trick you into taking action. They may: 

• say they’ve noticed some suspicious activity or log-in attempts 
• claim there’s a problem with your account or your payment information 
• say you must confirm some personal information 
• include a fake invoice 
• want you to click on a link to make a payment 
• say you’re eligible to register for a government refund 
• offer a coupon for free stuff 

With an increase of people working and educating from home, cyber-criminals have upped the ante in their attempts to take advantage of the growing audience.
