Customer Support Discussion[ Home | TOC | Search | Post | Reply | Next | Previous | Up ] PSTP is open to the PublicFrom: MsLinda - Vice President CommentsOn behalf of the staff of Public Safety Task Patrol, I want to welcome all of the public to this new internet Information and Referal Service. Atttention: All users of the Internet should be made aware of "Pfishing" Expeditions!From: Steven-036 CommentsDon't Be a Victim of a "Pfishing" Expedition! If you get an E-Mail from US Bank, Bank One, Verizon, eBay or other company that asks you to verify your account information, DON'T DO IT! These E-Mails appear 'official' and even appear to take you to an official corporate website, looking just like your bank or credit card company. Many threaten that your account may be suspended if you don't comply. When you get to their site you will be asked to verify your personal information, account/card number PIN, etc. What is actually happening is that your information is being sent to the thieves, often offshore, who will promptly charge items or just clean out your account. No Bank, Credit Card Company or other legitimate business will contact you in this way. If they need to get you to do anything they will ask via the U.S> Mail, and NOT via E-Mail or over the net. Thousands of unsuspecting victims have been scammed by these 'pfishers.' Here are some samples: CITIBANK(R) Dear Citibank Customer: Recently there have been a large number computer terrorist attacks over our database server.
