Protect yourself from Online Fraud.
Online fraud includes phishing, which is a scam where the perpetrator sends out authentic-looking emails appearing to come from a legitimate company in an effort to phish for personal and financial information from the email recipient. If you receive one of these emails from what appears to be Beezid, forward the email to our
Support Team so we can get to the bottom of it right away and inform you whether or not it is authentic.
If you receive a suspicious message that you think may be a phishing email, remember:
- Do not provide personal or financial information to anyone in an email. We will never ask for your banking information to pay for anything through an email. Any payments for bids or items are always made directly on our site.
- Be suspicious of email attachments and clickable links from unknown sources. If you do not know or recognize the sender of the email, do not open the attachment or click on the link. A link in a phishing email will take you to a fraudulent website designed to look genuine.
- Do not be fooled by warnings about "account changes" or "security threats". The people who send phishing emails will often make claims like these to frighten you into disclosing personal information to resolve the supposed threat.
- Do not be tricked by offers of money or free bids. We will always post your bonus offers in yourl My Bonus Offers tab, located in your My Account page.
- Do not set your email program to "auto-run" attachments. Always check that emails you have received do not contain viruses by running your anti-virus software when the email attachment is received.
If you are concerned that you have received a fraudulent email, disclosed any confidential information, or if you have any concerns about security, please contact our
Support Team without further delay. Remember, we will always include your Customer ID and Email ID, information that is exclusive to your account which you wouldn't find in the fraudulent emails.
