** KEEP AN EYE OUT **
Phishing scammers seem to be on the rise and they don't need a license!
We at PC CoPilot have received several messages from our clients about phishing emails recently and we'd like to take a moment to explain what they are and what (if any) actions you need to take when one comes around.
Phishing is when someone attempts to gain information or access by impersonating a reputable person or company. They tend to use any publicly available information and/or information they gained from other phishing attempts to seem as credible as possible.
>> Phishing can happen over the phone, in an email, or even through a letter in the mail, but we'll focus on email for now though as it is typically the most common. > The worst thing you can do is follow a link or rely on a phone number provided to you in a suspicious email.
