Phishing is the act of sending emails that falsely claim to be from a legitimate organisation. This is usually combined with a threat and/or a request for information: For example, that an account will close, a balance is due, or information is missing from an account. The email will ask the recipient to supply confidential information, such as bank details, passwords or any other personal information that can be used for fraudulent activities.
We will never ask you to send any personal details via email. If we require such details, for security reasons we will ask you to contact us by phone. Should you receive an email claiming to be from Powerpoint requesting this kind of information, please do not respond but let us know immediately.
