Email phishing and fraudulent email is on the rise so beware. Phishing is becoming more rampant.
You might probably get an email from a company or a website that you subscribe to, asking for you to confirm some personal or financial information, that they could use in accessing your accounts and cleaning them out, or buying stuff using your credit card information.
I recently got an email, claiming that it was from eBay and that I had not paid for an item which I had won, and hence they needed me to view the disputed item and confirm some information. The most revealing sign that this was a phishing email, was that it opened by simply saying “Dear Member”.
Legitimate emails from sites that you subscribe to always address you, your name or your account name or indicate your account number. Be careful with email like this.
Incidentally, here is a post which also has to do with emailing phishing.
