Other Internet Crime Prevention Tips
- You may receive emails or be directed to websites that ask you to enter personal information. The aim of many of these email scams is to take you to websites that may look like the houwire.com site but are in fact 'spoof' web sites. When you click on a link or enter personal details, the information is sent to someone other than your service provider.
- Don't be fooled. Representatives from HWC may email you from time to time, but will never send you an email asking you to enter banking/personal details through an email or a website.
- Protect yourself and your computer by having up-to-date anti-virus software, operating systems and firewalls.
