Avoid Phishing Scams with Three Simple Tips<\/h2>\n

Phishing scams are online messages designed to look like they\u2019re from a trusted source. We may open what we thought was a safe email, attachment or image only to find ourselves exposed to malware or a scammer looking for our personal data. The good news is we can take precautions to protect our important data. Learn to recognize the signs and report phishing to protect devices and data.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Recognize Common Signs<\/strong> | Be wary of requests from unknown parties, especially if they ask for money or other sensitive information.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u2022 Urgent or emotionally appealing language
    \n\u2022 Requests to send personal or financial information
    \n\u2022 Unexpected attachments
    \n\u2022 Untrusted shortened URLs
    \n\u2022 Email addresses that do not match the supposed sender
    \n\u2022 Poor writing\/misspellings (less common)<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Resist and Report<\/strong> | Report suspicious messages by using the \u201creport spam\u201d feature. If the message is designed to resemble an organization you trust, report the message by alerting the organization using their contact information found on their webpage. You can also forward your email to support@sjtechies.com for one of our Security Team members to review.<\/li>\n
    2. Delete<\/strong> | Delete the message. Don\u2019t reply or click on any attachment or link, including any \u201cunsubscribe\u201d link. The unsubscribe button could also carry a link used for phishing. Just delete<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      If a message looks suspicious, it\u2019s probably phishing.<\/h3>\n
