Personal information shared over the Internet can be used to commit fraud. One common method is for thieves to create a web site using a name that is similar to that of a reputable business, for instance by using a common misspelling of the company’s name. The intent is to lure you into clicking on the copycat web site and giving your personal information, including your account number and password. We caution you to make sure you know who you are dealing with over the Internet and to understand what will be done with your information. Always check that you have typed the correct web site address before entering personal information onto a site. For more information on steps you can take to protect yourself, we suggest you review guidelines provided in Safe Internet Banking published by the FDIC.
