📩 How to Spot Scam Emails

Scam emails are more convincing than ever, but there are always clues that give them away. Here's how to spot the fakes and protect your personal information.

🚩 Common Signs of a Scam

Urgent language: “Your account will be closed!” or “Act now!”
Suspicious links: Hover your mouse over a link — does it lead where it says it does?
Generic greetings: “Dear user” instead of your actual name.
Spelling mistakes: Real companies proofread their emails.
Unexpected attachments: These may contain malware.

🔍 How to Check If It's Real

Go directly to the company’s website instead of clicking the email link.
Check the sender's email address — does it end in a strange domain?
Call customer support if you’re unsure. Don’t use the number in the email.

✅ What to Do If You Suspect a Scam

Don’t click any links or download anything.
Mark the email as spam or phishing in your email app.
Delete it immediately and run a quick virus scan, just in case.
