Keep Dear Old Dad Safe from Phishing

Father's Day e-card warns of Internet scams.

Set aside the ties and gadgets: This Father's Day e-card from the Federal Trade Commission can save your dad a whole lot of headaches. Available from the FTC in English and Spanish, the cards offer dads advice on keeping their personal information secure.

Help your dad figure out how to spot fraud on the Internet. When Internet scam artists go "phishing," they send spam e-mails or pop-up messages asking for personal information, Social Security numbers, and/or passwords. To gain the trust of those they wish to con, these hustlers often pose as representatives of a bank, an Internet Service Provider, or a government agency.

Send your dad this card and keep him from getting hooked by Internet con artists.
