Identity Theft Scam Examples

ONLY IN SCAMS does an email ask you to confirm account information for a bank or other account. Pretending to link to eBay or Citibank or wherever and having fake look-alike pages (that are sometimes pretty damn convincing) should always raise a flag.

If a legitamate company wants you to review your information, they will SHOW YOU your “current” information, proving they already have it, and will only ask you to log in the usual way at the site you usually go to. NO EXCEPTIONS.
