What is Phishing?

• In Phishing fraudsters try to ‘fish’ for your personal details.
• They usually try this by sending you an e-mail, which takes you in faith to click a link that leads you to a fraudulent log-on page which is decorated to hack your account/password/personal details.
• These emails can also be used to lure you into downloading software that may contain virus. Please note that rosmertahsrp will never ask you to download software in order to access your information.
