In general, the best defense against phishing is to <strong>be suspicious of what you receive</strong>, whether it shows up in email, a text message or on the phone. Instead of taking action on what someone sent you, visit the site directly. For example, if an email says you need to reset your PayPal password, don’t click the link. Type in paypal.com yourself.
