<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stephan77, post: 2125460, member: 74244&quot;]I think most now know not to click on any internet links received from email. It&#039;s obvious not to click a link from any email you do not know, but I don&#039;t even click on links that friends send. I figure even though they are well meaning, you never know where they got the link and you&#039;re depending on their judgment. If the link looks interesting, I Google it first, to see if it&#039;s legit, and click on the website directly to get the info.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bring this up because the same thing should be done regarding phone calls. Do not ever give out personal info of any kind, especially financial info, to someone that calls you who you do not know. If they call and sound legit, in a courteous way tell them you&#039;ll call them back, Google them, find the website or phone number there, and you call them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sure there are exceptions, as when I received the confirmation link from CoinTalk because I just joined, I was expecting that, and clicked that link on the email to confirm. If you call a hotel, leave a voice mail, and they call you right back, that&#039;s obvious as well it&#039;s a legit call. But always err on the side of caution, and it&#039;s just a few easy steps as mentioned to safeguard your personal and financial life from scammers which is a nice word for criminals.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
