Recognizing and dealing with deceptive emails is crucial in protecting your online security and privacy.


How to Identify Scam Emails

  1. Check the Sender’s Email Address
    Legitimate organizations usually use specific domain emails. Be cautious if the sender’s email address seems odd or doesn't match the claimed company.

  2. Look for Red Flags in the Content
    Scam emails often contain messages that create a sense of urgency or pressure you to act quickly. Watch out for requests for sensitive information or attachments that you didn’t expect.

  3. Inspect Links and Attachments
    Before clicking, hover over any links to see the actual URL. If the link looks suspicious, don’t click. Be extra cautious with attachments—opening them could expose you to malware.


How to Handle Scam Emails

  1. Do Not Respond or Click
