Email fraud

Email fraud has grown dramatically in recent years, cybercriminals are getting smarter and we need your help to combat them.

Cybercriminals will use any means they can to trick you into sharing your personal information, your financial information or even request you to make unsolicited and criminal payments. Most cybercriminals will try contacting high-level representatives of the company and will try creating a sense of urgency.

Please remember there are many fraudulent techniques and even with current technologies a lot of email fraud will bypass security measures put in place by companies.

What do in case of doubt?

If you are unsure if the email is legit, your best friend is your ICT / IT / Security department. They can help in investigating the origin and legitimacy of the email.

How to report fraudulent emails?

You can contact us at info@principles.fish to report a fraudulent email or to get help in protecting your data. We will try our best to ensure maximum protection.
