Emails and text messages let us share information with anyone in the world in seconds. But this comes at a price, cyber criminals can reach you just as easily. They try to steal your information via phishing emails, smishing (SMS, text messages) or via vishing (phone calls).
With seemingly legitimate messages they will ask you to share information, click on a link or open an attachment. Don’t click on things but report them on the "Report suspicious emails” button.
