Have you ever gotten an email asking for confidential information like your personal identification or account number? Emails like these urge victims to provide information by replying to the email or visiting phony websites.
This type of cyber fraud is known as phishing, and it's a major problem for both Internet users and businesses. That's why it's so important to be cautious when being asked to provide personal information by email. Desjardins Financial Security and other Desjardins Group entities will never ask for personal or confidential information by email.
If you ever receive this type of message, you should destroy it or send it to us so we can take appropriate action.
