"Phishing" is a common online scam where the fraudster tries to trick you into sharing sensitive information such as login credentials, credit card numbers, or bank account details, often by impersonating a trusted entity like FurryListings or a payment processor.1
FurryListings will never send you an unsolicited text message or email asking you to verify your personal details, click a link to submit your login information, or provide your bank details.
If you receive a suspicious communication (text, email, or internal message):
DO NOT click on any links.
DO NOT submit any details about yourself, your login, or your bank account.
