  Ways to Identify Phishing Scams  
  The costs of cybercrime are estimated to surpass $10 trillion by 2025. That's trillion with a 'T', meaning that it's ever more important that you do everything you can to protect yourself from scams.

Phishing is defined as sending messages pretending to be from a reputable source to get you to reveal personal information, such as passwords or credit card numbers. Here are a few things to look out for to help you identify phishing scams.

Look Out For Bad Grammar
Messages from scammers and cybercriminals are often riddled with poor grammar, misspellings, or might just feel "off".

This can be a red flag, especially if the message supposedly comes from a major corporation. You can also check the email address the message comes from to make sure it's from the registered domain of the company it says it's coming from.

Be Careful If It's "Urgent"
Scammers often prey on people's sense or urgency. Maybe it's a supposed friend or relative in a dangerous situation, or a special offer that will only be available for a limited time. Many phishing scams depend on this sense of urgency — if you get an email or text message that requires immediate action, make sure to confirm that it's real.

Cyber insurance is another way you can protect yourself against cybercrime.

  Financial planner tip of the day  
  "Your debt-to-income ratio, or DTI, tells lenders how much of your monthly income is being used to pay your debts. In general, lenders prefer to see less than about 30% of an applicant's income going toward debt payments each month. Paying off debts can improve your DTI to a more creditworthy percentage for lenders to consider when assessing your mortgage loan application."
