Avoid tax season phishing, email scams
Tax season is here, and consumers using online financial services should be mindful of how they share personal information. Scammers are more prominently phishing through fraudulent financial services during this time of year. Phishing is when criminals send emails or messages claiming to be a reputable company. Scammers do this to get sensitive data like social security and bank account numbers. Homeland Security Investigations say phishing emails and other fraudulent financial services are standard this time of year.
