Q: What is Phishing ?
What does Phishing mean ?
A:
Put simply, phishing is when you receive an email that tricks you into believing it is from a bank, and requests your personal and login details. The links in the email appear to be legitimate, and sometimes even have the logo of the bank concerned.
So how can you protect yourself?
Firstly NEVER, EVER enter your details in response to an email that appears to be from a BANK requesting your information. NO reputable company will ever ask you for details in this way.. If in doubt about the legitimacy of the email, contact your bank.
Secondly, when you need to enter the banks online banking service, never click on a link that you find in these emails or on internet sites for that matter, rather manually type the web address each time, that way you can be sure that you will get to the "real" bank

You can use all the 26 letters of the alphabet, plus hyphens (-), underscore (_) and full stop (.), plus of course the at sign (@). For example, all the following are possible (but of course, you must be sure that the email address exists):
goodexample@tcgcomputerservices.com
GoodExample@tcgcomputerservices.com
good-example@tcgcomputerservices.com
good.example@tcgcomputerservices.com
GOOD_EXAMPLE@tcgcomputerservices.com
