Heed the warnings on email scams

Financial experts are warning consumers to steer clear of emails that may be phishing attempts. Massive numbers of email addresses were recently stolen from two companies, Epsilon and RSA Security, and this affected customer data bases for stores like Best Buy, Walgreens, and Kroger. Spoof emails could be coming, that might try to trick people into giving up personal and financial information. Emails from legitimate financial institutions and businesses will not ask for passwords, card numbers or other sensitive information. Anything that does, it's best to delete it, or report it to the department of banking.
