We would like to redraw your attention to online security and some real dangers in terms of identity theft.  We have recently seen several efforts to capture personal information by forging e-mail messages that appear to come from financial institutions such as SunTrust, Huntington Bank, and TCF Bank.  The messages include both the graphic logo of the company and web links that would appear to be legitimate.  They are not.

Here are some reminders to help protect against these dangers:

1. Do not open messages from senders you do not know.

2. Do not open messages that you are not expecting even from companies with which you have accounts.

3. When in doubt, contact the company via telephone or visit the company's web site by typing the URL for the company directly into your browser.

Please give us a call with any questions about e-mail messages that you believe may be forgeries.

Thanks.
