WHAT IS "PHISHING"?

"Phishing" is a scam designed to steal your personal information. If you receive an email that looks like it is from us asking you for your personal information, do not respond. We will never request your password, user name, credit card information or other personal information through email.

I RECEIVED A SUSPICIOUS EMAIL FROM MEDTHUSIAST REGARDING AN ORDER I DID NOT PLACE. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

We are aware of phony emails sent out under our brand names. These emails did not originate from Medthusiast, and individuals who received fraudulent order status emails have not been charged. For your protection, do not click links or open any files attached to suspicious, unsolicited emails. If you believe your personal computer has been compromised as a result of the scam, please consult an IT professional.
