InstaDebit Phishing

One of the most common ways that people become victims of internet fraud is through phishing scams. Once you’ve signed up for any account online that handles your money, you should never click a link to get to that site again. If you don’t think you’ll be able to remember www.instadebit.com, then click that link right there, right now, and bookmark that page. If you get an email that says you need to go to the InstaDebit website to do anything at all, close the email, open a web browser and type the address to InstaDebit into it yourself, or, open your bookmarks and use that.If you can’t find inside your account on the website what the email wanted you to do, give the instadebit security department a call at the toll free number we listed for you above, and ask them if the email was legit. Until you’ve verified that the email was indeed from InstaDebit, consider it fake, and do not use it, click on it, or send it to anyone but phishing@instadebit.com.
