‘Tis The Season …. For PHISHING Scams!
Remember – Don’t click on links in emails unless it’s from someone you trust. Hackers and scammers frequently send very convincing emails that masquerade to be from reputable companies like eBay, PayPal, FedEx, UPS, DHL, or even the University of Nebraska. When in doubt, simply open a browser window and manually type in the address of the page that you’re heading to – Don’t implicitly trust that the email you received contains a valid link, because they might be targeting YOU to steal your personal data!
