Phishing
What is phishing and pharming?
'Phishing' attacks use fraudulent emails and websites and aim to steal consumers' personal identity data and financial account credentials. The emails and websites mimic legitimate websites, but instead are used to collect personal and financial data such as email addresses and credit cards.

How can I avoid phishing scams
Be suspicious of any email with urgent requests for personal financial information - especially emails that are not personalised (that is emails that don't include your name in the introduction - e.g. "Hi Jane" if your name is Jane). All legitimate shorebirds.org.au emails will be personalised using the information you provided to us.
