What is a phishing email?
-
Notification regarding an order that was never really placed. -
Notification about possible account closure/suspension due to fraudulent activity on an account resulting in the need for account verification and/or a password change. -
A promotional email with links that take you somewhere other than Newegg.com.
Tips for identifying phishing scams:
-
When you place your mouse over a link or pictures with links without clicking on it, a box will come up showing you where that link will take you. Legitimate Newegg links will always show “ http://www.newegg.com ”. Please note it is the .newegg.com (including the period before newegg.com) part that is the most important part to look for. If you see cs-newegg.com or newegg.accountmaintenance.com, they are not legitimate Newegg.com sites. -
The To: field in the email is blank, has multiple email addresses, or is addressed to somebody other than you. -
Spelling and grammar errors. -
The email is asking for personal information such as: -
Your social security number. -
Your credit card number (including expiration date and credit card security code). -
Your Newegg.com user name and password. -
Your mother’s maiden name. -
Your address, phone number, or other personal information.
