What type of email should I check?
The type of email you should always check through phishfraud.com are (1) those that direct you to click a link to log-in to a website that asks for personal information
or (2) those that threaten a certain type
of action (such as restricting your account)
if you do not respond in a timely manner. For example, emails that
appear to be from your bank, credit card company, paypal, ebay or any other financial institution should
be treated with extreme care and attention.
Your Security & Privacy
It is completely safe to forward your email to phishfraud.com since
banks and phishers never put personally identifiable information into your email.
If you do see personally identifiable information in the email you would like to
check, such as your account number, social security number, credit card number or
other private information, we suggest you contact the institution via a telephone number obtained from their website (not from the email) immediately for two reasons: (1) If the email is from a phisher and this information is already in their hands, you may already be at risk; (2) If your bank is placing this information into the email, you should request that they immediately stop because it is not a safe practice and puts you at risk. If the only personally identifiable information is your email address, then you can forward it to us.
Please note that phishfraud.com and Netriplex, LLC do not store the
content of any emails you forward for checking. Email content is scanned against
our global database, and after a determination is made it is discarded. We do store
your email address so that we can send a response to you and update you from time-to-time
on new anti-phishing services. You can remove your email from our database
at any time by clicking the link at the bottom of the email.
