Phishing: What to do
If you are unsure don't click on the link, type the URL of a
trusted site directly into your browser. Criminals send emails
that appear to be from companies you know and trust but are
really links to websites they control.

Attachments
Don’t open attachments in emails unless you know who sent it
and what it is. Opening the wrong attachment — even if it
seems to be from friends or family — can install malware on
your computer. Avoid opening .zip, exe, vbs files unless you are
100% positive.
