Fraud and identity theft are not only a risk to your privacy, but a risk to your finances, so knowing what to look for can help prevent you from becoming a victim.
Fraudsters use ‘phishing’ or ‘spoofing’ tactics to get sensitive information from you. The deception usually involves a counterfeit website or email which looks similar to one you’d normally trust. Information you give on a phishing site could be used by criminals to access your account or use your identity fraudulently.
Login Userid and Password
After entering your username, you’ll be presented with the SiteKey™ image and phrase you selected when setting up your Online Card Services account - giving you reassurance that it’s really us.
SiteKey™ adds another layer of security, helping to prevent unauthorized access to your account and protecting your information from those who would use your identity for fraudulent purposes.
Address of Website
The address used by a counterfeit site may be very similar to our genuine website addresses. Look closely for spelling differences or the use of symbols, e.g. www.xyz.com, www.pqr@xyz.com or www.verify-xyz.com.
Hidden addresses - rest your cursor over a link in an email (but don't click on it) and a box will pop up showing you the link destination - do you recognize it as a legitimate address? If not it could suggest that the sender has something to hide.
