Phishing Alert



The above video presents information about protecting
your personal and financial information. Please view it.

I received a recorded message via telephone from someone identifying herself as being with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Her message is that I may have been recently contacted by an entity that claims to be a company with whom I have recently done business. The warning is to never give up personal and financial information, no matter how urgent the matter may seem.


The practice of getting people to give up their personal and financial information is called "Phishing."


Our government provides considerable consumer protection information at OnguardOnline.Gov that is easy to access.
