Don’t give out personal information to unsolicited emails or phone calls.

In light of the recent security breaches, we’ve all been hearing about, Vectra would like to remind you to never give out personal information such as passwords or PIN #s to unsolicited emails, phone calls, online chats or surveys.

Do not trust unsolicited emails, even if they seem to come from a reputable company like your bank, credit card company, Facebook or LinkedIn.

Do not click on any of the links. If you receive a suspicious phone call or email, do not respond to the caller or sender. Go to the company’s website (do not use the link in the email) and call the company back directly to verify the request.

We recommend that all customers follow these fraud prevention services and tips, whether or not they have ever been affected by a data breach:
