Use Some Common Sense For God's Sake
If you get an e-mail claiming to be your credit card company or banking institution and it asks you for your personal information, DONT GIVE IT OUT!!! Call your bank or card company and ask them about the e-mail to verify if it is legit or not. How naieve are people going to continue to be before they learn that this is a scam?
