- Some spammers send fraudulent mass-messages designed to collect personal information, called 'spoofing' or 'password phishing.'
- They ask you to provide your username and password or other personal information (e.g. Social Security number, bank account number, PIN number, credit card number, mother's maiden name, or birthday).
- Even if they appear to be from a legitimate source, or contain an official-looking webpage, be careful.
- Spammers often ask for this information in an attempt to steal your email address, your money, your credit, or your identity.
- It is better not to entertain these types of messages like lottery winning, best email, lotto winning, etc. Neglect them.
