20% Would Open Email from an Unknown Sender, Says CreditDonkey.com Survey
Los Angeles, CA, Jan 16, 2013 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) --
One-third of respondents to a recent survey said they receive at least one "phishing" email per day. And another 22% said they get 2 to 5 scam emails per day.
With the flood of emails designed to confuse or scam recipients, it's alarming that 1 in 5 respondents said they would open an email even though they do not recognize the email sender, according to a survey by CreditDonkey.com, a credit card comparison and financial education website.

"While financial institutions have systems in place to try to minimize fraud, consumers also have to be cautious," says Charles Tran, founder of CreditDonkey.com.
In other survey findings:
66% of consumers were the first to spot a fraudulent charge, not their financial institution.
56% do not keep track of receipts.
From November 19 to November 27, 2012, CreditDonkey.com polled 1,045 Americans, age 18 and over, using multiple-choice questions and short-answer questionnaires.
