The Internet has become a regular part of our real world. Sadly enough this means that the Internet is used by criminals as well. Criminals are using e-mails and fake websites for their criminal activities. E-mails appear to be sent by a bank, others refer to fraudulent websites, telling you have won a lottery or bluntly asking for help and money.
These e-mails generally avoid using your name, ask for help in some financial activity, request confidential information or offer an opportunity you did not expect. Please be careful not to loose money or give confidential information by replying to those e-mails or following the links they contain.
