According to recent reports, e-mail “phishing” attacks are on the rise. Phishing is the act of sending an e-mail and falsely claiming to be an established business in an attempt to trick the reader into surrendering personal information that can be used for identity theft. BBL wants to share what we know and what you should do to protect yourself.
Typically, the e-mail states that the company needs to verify information about you to update your account, improve its security or for some other reasonable –sounding purpose. To protect against phishing scams:
- Don’t ever give your Password to anyone.
- Don’t ever provide personal information, such as bank account or Social Security Number, in response to e-mails requesting this type of information.
- Do not click on links in e-mails unless you know who they are from - ever. Even if you do “know” the sender (such as a company with whom you have conducted business), to be safe, open a new web browser and type in the URL every time you log in to your account.
When you made a purchase at BedinaBox.com, we collected information about you. We verify this information when you call us or go online in order to ensure that you are who you say you are.
Please be advised: we will not send an unsolicited e-mail to you that requests, or that links to a website that requests, sensitive personal information, such as your:
- Bank account, credit or debit card numbers
- PINs or security code numbers from the back of a credit card
- Social Security Number
If you ever receive an e-mail from BBL that you’re unsure about, please forward it to info@bedinabox.com. We will be able to tell you if it is an e-mail from us.
Avoid Getting “Phished”
The following are some tips from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to help you avoid being phished:
- If you receive an e-mail or pop-up message that asks for personal or financial information, do not reply and especially, don’t click on any link in the message.
- Use proven anti-virus software such as Norton and a firewall and keep them up to date.
- Never just e-mail sensitive personal or financial information; e-mail isn’t a secure method of transmitting your personal information.
- Always review your credit card and bank statements as soon as you get them to check for unauthorized charges.
- Always be cautious when opening any attachment or downloading any files from e-mails you receive, regardless of who sends them.
- If you believe you are the victim of a scam, file a complaint at ftc.gov, then follow the instructions at the FTC’s Identity Theft Website at www.consumer.gov/idtheft
