Yeah I’ll agree on that. It’s scary how they can do that. It was one of the things I highlighted in my earlier comment. Scammers pretending to be the expected sender with the correct email link and everything. One of the only effective ways to spot it if it’s real is to message the sender through a different means like their customer service page or text message if it’s a friend or family member.

True, but you can never really be 100% sure it’s legitimate. Their email could have been hacked or spoofed, and the same can be said for any online communication.

@Starless
Except the ones you’re expecting and fully know who the sender is.

All emails are suspicious. You never have any idea who sent it.

Any unsolicited email with the links and attachments is automatically suspicious. Even if it’s completely legit and free from viruses it still wants to sell you something.

Gonna post some awareness about email scams since it relates to this picture.

Look for all sorts of bad signs in an email. Any pictures that have a tacky or low res jpeg, you don’t recognize the sender, wanting you to “CLICK NOW” on the link, plebians pretending to be part of a company to get info out of you, any misspellings and poor grammar, any where they ask for money up front or have you fill out a loan (scammers will use your basic info to autofill online applications for loans where the loaner will then have you finish setting up your loan. If you fall for it and finish it then scammer will get the money for free, leaving you to pay back the full loan and any interest. I’ve seen this happen and it’s a very real tactic) or trick you into thinking you won a prize or wanting you to enter a random sweepstake are big signs of email scams. Also just look at the name of the sender too. If it’s a suspicious name or a bot name with lots of random numbers and letters then it’s a suspicious email. Another way to test this is to message the sender to see if they’re legit only as an alternative. If the message doesn’t go through, they never respond or they do respond with suspicious messaging then there you have it.

This also goes for suspicious text messages.
