Spam and Phishing

Handling Phishing

The best thing to do when you receive an email or you receive a call you believe is phishing for information is to:

  • Be careful and do not provide your details.
  • Locate a contact number for the institution that supposedly sent the email or placed the call (do not use a contact number provided by the sender of the email or the caller/caller ID).
  • Directly call the institution to check whether this was a legitimate request.
