1Last winter, my uncle nearly lost his savings because of a fake email.

2The message looked like it came from his bank, complete with a logo.

3It warned that his account would be closed unless he confirmed his details.

4He clicked the link and entered his password on a convincing website.

5Luckily, he called the bank before the criminals could take any money.

6This kind of trick is called phishing, and it is extremely common.

7Attackers copy real companies and create a feeling of fear or urgency.

8Real banks never ask for passwords or full card numbers by email.

9You should always check the sender's address and avoid clicking strange links.

10If something feels wrong, contact the company directly through its official website.

11My uncle now tells everyone his story so they will not be fooled.
