FBI offers tips on to protect your self ...



# If you need to update your information online, use the normal process you've used before, or open a new browser window and type in the website address of the legitimate company's account maintenance page.

# If a website address is unfamiliar, it's probably not real. Only use the address that you have used before, or start at your normal homepage.

# Always report fraudulent or suspicious e-mail to your ISP.

# Most companies require you to log in to a secure site. Look for the lock at the bottom of your browser and "https" in front of the website address.

# If you have any doubts about an e-mail or website, contact the legitimate company directly. Make a copy of the questionable web site's URL address, send it to the legitimate business and ask if the request is legitimate.

# If you've been victimized, you should contact your local police or sheriff's department, and file a complaint with the FBI's Internet Fraud Complaint Center at
