Beware of Fraudulent E-Mails!

We have noticed an increase in fraudulent e-mail recently, especially those that appear to be from a bank or other business at which you may have an account. Many of these are not picked up by the Barracuda or Outlook junk mail filters, and may be delivered to your e-mailbox. These e-mails are characterized by some warning about your account status and a request for you to verify account information. There is generally a link to a Web site provided for this purpose.

Please be aware that banks and other reputable businesses would not request account verification from customers this way. Please do not respond to these messages or click on the links provided.

These are "phishing" scams in which the scammer uses these sites to collect personal and account information about you! The messages should be deleted.
