Phishing scams

If you believe you have been the victim of fraud, contact your financial institution immediately via phone or in person. If you have received a phishing email, you can usually send a copy to abuse@DOMAIN.com where DOMAIN.com signifies the company to which you are directing the email. For example, abuse@suntrust.com is the email address for sending phishing emails purporting to be from SunTrust Bank. If in the United States, you can also forward a copy to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) using the address spam@uce.gov. Be sure to forward the email as an attachment so that all important formatting and header information is preserved; otherwise the email will be of little use for investigative purposes.
