After I had given all the information requested, the site provided me with a log-in number and sent me to a page where I was asked to enter my ID and a password. When I clicked ‘continue’, the site answered, “the information you entered was incorrect, call customer service.” After calling customer service, the attendant asked me to enter the same information again. I did, and the site said, “your account has been locked, call customer service.” The attendant unlocked, but the site continued with the loop, “the information you entered is incorrect” or “your account has been locked.” After having wasted about two hours, I decided that my weekly walk to the bank was good exercise anyway. A http://www.yourblog.com Ensure that the website where you enter your online banking details is the correct website. Hackers can create a site that looks very similar to a legitimate site. Never give account numbers, ID’s or social security numbers to an unfamiliar person or company. Your bank will never contact you to ask for your e-banking details. If you are visiting a website, it is best to type in the web address itself. Links in email messages, text messages or pop-up ads can take you to websites that look legitimate but are not. Before you enter sensitive data on a web page, make sure the web address begins with https , not just http . The s stands for secure. Additionally, if you have an encrypted connection, you will notice a closed padlock icon either next to the web address or in the lower right corner of the screen. Watch out for scams! Be suspicious of emails that contain information on deals that sound too good to be true. These emails could be the work of cyber criminals trying to get hold of your financial data.
