Tip 2: Prevent a cybercrime theft

Be aware of and prevent email based funds transfer frauds.

If you are sending or receiving funds, such as a bank wire, you must verbally confirm the funds transfer instructions.

This means after you receive an email with instructions on where to send money, you must have a phone conversation with the person who sent you those instructions. Do not let a cybercriminal misdirect it.

Confirm who you are speaking with. Confirm where the funds are supposed to go.

This cybercrime is sometimes called "business email compromise" or "CEO fraud".
