Just a reminder that email scams have become a common way for cybercriminals to access your computer. They start by sending you a fake email that appears to come from your bank. The email says that there is an issue with your account and that their team needs to investigate. Of course, there isn’t actually an issue, but the scammer offers to help you fix it.

Follow these tips to avoid falling victim to a remote desktop scam:

• Be suspicious of any unexpected emails claiming that there is an issue with your account. If you have reason to believe the request is genuine, contact your bank using a verified number or email address.
• Never give control of your computer to someone who contacts you, even if they claim to be from your bank or tech support.
• Never share passwords or login information with anyone. This data is personal, and your bank will never ask you for it.
