What the Fraud Protection service cannot do

The Fraud Protection service is an excellent starting point for preventing online fraud. However, when using the Internet, education and vigilance are still key factors when it comes to preventing theft of your information and assets. No software can protect you from all possible fraud schemes, and new methods of attack frequently appear. For example:

• The Fraud Protection service will not protect against a scam that has not yet been identified by the research community and added to the database.
• The Fraud Protection service will not stop you from directly replying to a phishing emails.
• The Fraud protection service will not protect against a \"secure\" site (a site that uses https instead of http) that is part of a phishing scam.
