Hello, I hope everyone is well. Today I’m just going to do a brief post about email scams. They are everywhere. Don’t feel that just because you have the best internet security system out there that you won’t receive a suspicious email at one time or another. These scam emails are usually from an unknown sender. They may have a common name like Sue Smith to make you think that you might know this person from somewhere. The subject of the email could be anything from “no subject”, “your account”, or “inheritance”, or just about any clever words to lure you into opening the email. These suspicious emails may increase the more you sign up for things online.
Your best bet is do not open it! Even if you’re curious, it’s better to be on the safe side then to risk the possibility of getting a virus or even losing your identity. Some email accounts will allow you to report the message as spam. But I would only do this if you’re allowed to report it without opening it.
These scams are more popular than ever and are spreading like wildfire. Protect yourself and use your common sense whenever you’re on the internet. Don’t give out your email address to anyone unless you know who you’re dealing with.
On that note, I’ll close for today. Have a great weekend.
