| Anti-Fraud (Phishing) Support "Phishing" is the term coined by hackers for attempting to lure personal information out of people by pursuading them to visit web sites that look like genuine bank, credit card, or payment sites, when they are actually sophisticated fakes of those sites. These attempts at fraud appear as email messages sent to you asking for some sort of personal information. Usually this is information about your address or credit card information, or your cash card PIN number. It could also involve you typing in some sort of password to "gain access" to a security site where they want you to type in more information. Our advanced systems will warn you of fraud attempts by creating a bold red message in the "possible fraud" email highlighting that our system has detected a possible fraud attempt. An example
of the alert is here, where the thieves site "www.nasty.com"
is pretending to be "www.bank.com": Screenshots showing trapped messages are below.
