- Always assume that messages intended for e-mail and voice-mail recipients may be accessed by others. Be discreet in leaving messages.
- Cut and Paste. Don't click directly on a hyperlink in an e-mail message. If the email includes a visible URL, cut and past it into your browser instead of clicking it.
- Ignore anything with a typo or bad grammar.
- Never e-mail complete credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, or bank account information via regular e-mail. Only send the last four digits of the number if it is necessary to refer to a name and an account. NEVER use a Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL or other commercial account to send or receive protected information
