- Don’t reply to spam or forward chain emails.
- Keep your personal information personal – don’t share bank or credit card information by email.
- Your bank will not discuss your private financial situation by email. If you receive any correspondence that claims to come from your bank, telephone your branch to verify it and discuss the matter over the telephone instead.
