Phishing is the name given to fraudulent email messages designed to trick you into divulging your username, password, or bank info. These emails frequently contain poor grammar, and spelling errors, and may seem to come from strange email addresses.
DO NOT respond to these emails
TOAST.net will never ask for your username or password through email or chat. Please contact TOAST.net Support if you have a question about an email from TOAST.net.
Tips to identify a phishing email:
- Hover your mouse over the From field to verify the sender's email address.
- Hover your mouse over weblinks to see where it leads. Be cautious if the link does not match the sender's domain or looks suspicious.
- Check for urgent or suspicious prompts. Phishing emails often create a sense of urgency or fear to prompt immediate action.
- Look for typing errors, poor grammar, and generic greetings like "Dear Customer"
- Watch for spoofed signatures and branding as they will try to impersonate well known brand names.
WARNING
If you shared any information with the fake address, logged into a site they linked, or just want to be extra secure, change your email password immediately.
To change your password:
1. Login to your mailbox
2. Click on Settings --> Account Settings--> User. There you should see the fields to update your password.
