How can I protect myself from e-mail fraud?
Fraudulent or "spoofed" e-mail requests personal information like credit card numbers on behalf of an established company when, in reality, the e-mail is from an unauthorized or phony source.
Fraudulent e-mail often contains stolen company logos or hyperlinks leading to a page that looks like an established company's web site. The identity thieves who maintain these sites pose as someone you trust and try to collect your personal information.
lighthouse4gifts.com is working hard to help protect you from such schemes. The following guidelines help determine if an e-mail has been forged:
- Lighthouse4gifts.com never asks you to transmit personal information like your password, bank account number, PIN, or credit card information via e-mail. Providing information on my web site is safe and secure.
- Lighthouse4gifts.com never sends e-mail claiming we lost your account information or need you to update your records via e-mail.
- Lighthouse4gifts.com never threatens to close accounts or cancel orders if you do not provide personal information via e-mail.
