Targetmarket.biz Anti-Phishing Technology

As more and more communication and transactions are taking place online, phishing schemes and other attempts to steal sensitive personal information have become increasingly prevalent and innovative.

Targetmarket.biz's advanced fraud protection program effectively protects you from phishing schemes by detecting and intercepting phishing schemes and other fraudulent email messages before they reach your inbox. Targetmarket.biz detects phishing schemes by examining the links embedded in incoming mail messages. If a link appears to be pointing to legitimate site, but in fact leads to a fraudulent destination; the message will be considered fraudulent and thus intercepted.

A phishing scheme typically consists of an email message that appears to originate from a trusted source, but in fact is an attempt to obtain and exploit sensitive user information, such as login credentials for the targeted user's online bank account. The mail message likely will contain a link that appears to lead to an authorized Web site that belongs to a legitimate, trusted company. The idea is to make the email user take the bait by clicking the link and providing the requested data to the fraudulent party, which will then attempt to exploit the obtained information.

As a Targetmarket.biz email user, you will not actually notice the fraud-protection technology in action, as it operates behind the scenes. However, the advanced technology will have an instant impact on your mail account as much fewer - if any - fraudulent mail messages will appear in your inbox.
