What should I do if I get a strange email request?
To protect your privacy and security, we recommend taking the following steps:
- Verify the authenticity of emails of questionable origin before responding. Be skeptical of communications you receive from sources you are not expecting.
- Do not reveal secret passwords, PINs, ZIP or Postal codes, or any other secure data to anyone in chat or email. Performers never need your personal data.
- Do not click on links contained in possibly questionable e-mails; instead, go directly to the site already known to be genuine.
- Do not open attachments to e-mails of possibly questionable origin, since they may contain viruses that will infect your computer.
