Email Protection

• Question suspicious emails. State National Bank and Trust Company will never send you an email asking for your online ID or password.
• If you receive an email that appears to be suspicious, do not reply to it or click on the link it provides. Simply delete it.
• If you think you may have provided personal or account information in response to a fraudulent email or website, report the fraud immediately, change your passwords, and monitor your account activity frequently.
• Avoid clicking on links provided in emails. It is always better to type the address into your browser.
• Open email attachments only if you know the sender. It is best to scan attachments with your anti-virus software prior to opening.
• Most computer files have filename extensions, such as ".doc" for documents or ".jpg" for images. Any file that appears to have a double extension, like  "openme.doc.pif" is extremely likely to be a dangerous file and should never be opened. 
• Never open email attachments that have file endings of .exe, .pif, or .vbs. These are file extensions for launching computer programs, and are commonly dangerous files. 
• Be careful and selective before providing your email address to a questionable website. Sharing your email address makes you more likely to receive fraudulent emails. 
• Confirm the validity of all requests for sensitive personal, financial, or account information, particularly if they are made with an urgent or threatening tone. 
• Confirm requests for personal or account information by going to the company's website directly. Open a new browser window, type the Web address, and check to see if you must actually perform any activity that an email may be asking you to do, such as change a password.
