What to do with Phishing Emails

Getting strange emails from financial institutions?  This is a new type of email scam known as “Phishing”.  You should not follow the instructions in these emails, as they normally are not really from the financial institution.  Read this report from the Federal Trade Commission for more info:

You should delete these messages if you are receiving them, or follow the instructions in the FTC document to report them as spam.
