How to identify fraudulent emails and messages
Scammers try to copy email and text messages from legitimate companies to trick you into giving them your personal information and passwords. These signs can help you identify phishing emails:
* The sender’s email or phone doesn’t match the name of the company that it claims to be from.
* The email or phone they used to contact you is different from the one that you gave that company.
* A link in a message looks right, but the URL doesn’t match the company’s website.2
* The message looks significantly different from other messages that you’ve received from the company.
* The message requests personal information, like a credit card number or account password.
The message is unsolicited and contains an attachment.
