If you see something, say something!! Report all suspicious activity to your supervisor.
Don’t click on links in your email. Always go to the source website. Hackers and Scammers are always trying to steal your credit card information and your passwords.
BE SAFE. THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK.
The government, Microsoft, Apple and IT will NEVER call you and ask you for payment in gift cards or wire transfers. Also, they will never ask you for your credit card numbers, social security numbers or your passwords. If you receive such a phone call, even if the CallerID looks legitimate, hang up. Look up the correct contact number and call back. VERIFY who you are speaking to before you give out any information.
