Phishing

What is Phishing?

Phishing is a way of luring email users into providing sensitive details eg bank details, passwords / PIN numbers either by replying to an email or asking recipients to click on a link and enter details into a form or website that has been replicated to look genuine, eg ebay or a bank.

The phishers will then use this information so do not enter your sensitive details and contact your bank if you are concerned.
