Scams
![](images/scams.png)
Don't respond to email, instant messages (IM), texts, phone calls, etc., asking you for your
password. You should never disclose your password to anyone, even if they say they work for SST.
Malicious links can infect your computer or take you to web pages designed to steal your information.
Only click on links from trusted sources. Never click on a mystery link unless you have a way to independently verify
that it is safe. This includes tiny URLs.

Malicious attachments can infect your computer. Don't open unsolicited or unexpected attachments.
If you can't verify an attachment is legitimate, delete it.
A study of 150,000 phishing emails by Verizon partners found that 23 percent of recipients
open phishing messages, and 11 percent open attachments. One in 10 people opens an attachment when
they have no idea what they’re opening.
Don't give private information to anyone you don't know or who doesn't have a legitimate need
for it -- in person, over the phone, via e-mail, IM, text, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
