A great way to stay safe and secure is to make sure you know who's asking for your personal info before sharing it with anyone. Safe and reputable companies and sites will never ask for anything like that by email or any other method. If you receive an email from your bank or business asking you to send them your updated email, it's a scam.
In fact, if you see any suspicious online behavior, do your part to report it. There are a number of anti-phishing and law enforcement groups that can help in such cases:
1. You can send an email to the FTC in the United States;
2. file a report with the Anti-Phishing Working Group on their website or by email;
3. submit a report to the Internet Crime Complaint Center, co-sponsored by the FBI and the National White Collar Crime Center.
