Anti-Phishing Advice



We don’t pretend to be experts in information technology as well as furniture removals! Christchurch removals is where we excel.

We also have no reason to believe that anyone has ever tried to deceive anyone else by pretending they were Christchurch Removals online.  Even so, we’d like to publish here are a few very basic thoughts about how you can protect yourself from one of the commonest online scams, that involving “phishing”.

Phishing

This is a generic term given to a range of potential online frauds.
They typically involve someone, somewhere, pretending to be someone else.  That usually means they’ll pretend to be a company or institution you already do business with and communicate with you via email using that false identity.

A common approach is to send you an e-mail that may have all the appearances of coming from someone you have legitimate contact with. That e-mail invites you to follow a link to logon and check something relating to your business with them.

In reality, if you follow that link, you will be taken to a bogus site where you may accidentally disclose private information such as your id and password. Read more about......Anti-Phishing Advice.
