I have been phished two times. Is there a way to stop this from
happening in the future? The first time it happened was about a month
ago on my old computer after I was on Facebook and then yesterday it
happened again on my new computer after I was searching some tv
websites. I have virus software with spyware and a firewall. Both
computers are/were scanned once a week and no viruses have ever been
found. Thanks for any suggestions.
Pat,
Just as bts suggested, be as limited as you can when using various
websites, etc, especially Facebook since it has already been discovered
to be a hub for scam artists and the like. Myspace is another breeding
ground as well.
Also, as bts suggested, try using at least 2 email addresses, one for
your important uses such as banking, etc, and another for blogs, forums
and the like. That way, if someone gets your email address from a blog
or something similar, it won't completely disrupt your more important
email address attached to important accounts, etc.
Hope this convinces you to change your way of using email addresses. :)
Glen
