Detecting Spam in Your Inbox
There are a few ways to tell if an email is spam, even when it looks authentic. Here’s how to figure out if a spammer is trying to phish you:
Avoiding Getting Phished
Once you identify an email as spam, do not answer it, reveal personal information, or open the attachments. The email’s attachments likely contain viruses or malware, which can be used to steal your identity, spy on your activity, or damage files on the device. The same advice goes for suspicious links. On most computer browsers, you can hover your cursor over a link. If the URL appears fishy, don’t click on it. Finally, if the email comes from an establishment you belong to (i.e. a bank or company), you can contact them directly, in person or by phone, to double-check the authenticity.
