Beware of all numbers before the site names. ie. http://1248395.www. legitimatecompany.com

Watch out for emails claiming to alert investors to a breach of security and asking you to submit personal information

Beware of keywords like “verify,” “account process” or “update” in the site name.

ie. http:// accountverify.net/legitimatecompany. com

Tips to Avoid Phishing Even if the email you receive has a “.com address” of a company you do business with, if it seems suspicious, you should call the company directly.

Beware of an unfamiliar or misspelled company name. ie. http://www.mybrokker.com

When in doubt about only suspicious unsolicited e-mails, just hit the delete key
