Generally speaking, people become victims of phishing scams simply because they do not know how such scams operate. You can help by ensuring that friends and colleagues are aware of such scams and what to do about them. You might like to point them to this web page or another resource that provides information about phishing. The power of such “word-of-mouth” education is substantial. You CAN make a difference by sharing your knowledge of phishing scams with other Internet users.

You can also help by reporting phishing scams (see above). Your submissions help to increase awareness of phishing scams and allow anti-phishing websites and targeted institutions to maintain up-to-date information about current phishing threats.
