Dear Client, Our clients have seen a wave of “phishing” attempts in which scammers are impersonating Interactive Brokers.  They send requests—sometimes by text, sometimes by email—for urgent updates of client information (often tax or other key information) and include login links pointing to websites that appear legitimate but are actually fake websites. If you click those links, you may inadvertently give bad actors access to your account.  The scammers also distort the rankings given to their fake websites in search engines (Google, Bing, etc.) so their sites appear at the top of your search results. The scammers may also place malicious advertisements, linking to their fake website, at the top of the search results. The scammers continue to change their methods, but you can protect yourself by following a few simple rules: Check the domain name in your browser to see whether it is the official website of Interactive Brokers; if not, it is likely fake. When in doubt, directly access your account from the log in button on the Interactive Brokers website. Bookmark the official Interactive Brokers website and do not navigate to our site through online searches.
