Knowing Your Enemy: How to Spot Spam

To win a battle, you must first know your enemy. Even though spam messages often look like real emails, here are some ways to spot them for what they are:

If you get emails from unknown senders or from names that don't match the content, that's a red flag.

Urgency and pressure: Phrases like "act now" or "limited time offer" are often used in spam to make you feel rushed and cloud your judgment.

Grammar and spelling mistakes: Professional businesses don't usually send emails that are full of mistakes. If a message has bad grammar or spelling, you should be careful.

Promises and offers that can't be kept: It sounds too good to be true to win a million dollars or become famous overnight. Most likely, they are.

Phishing attempts: Emails that ask for personal information or links that look sketchy are probably attempts to steal your information. Be careful!

In addition, we have built-in tools, here are some other ways to make your inbox stronger:

Strong passwords are important because weak passwords make it easy for spammers to get in. For extra security, make sure each account has a strong, unique password and turn on two-factor authentication.

Be careful when using public Wi-Fi: Don't do private things like banking online or entering personal information when you're on public Wi-Fi. Spammers can hide on networks that aren't secure.

Do not answer spam: If you answer spam emails, it shows that your email address is still active, which can lead to more spam. Just delete the message or report it.

To get off of mailing lists: To cut down on spam, unsubscribe from mailing lists that you don't want to be on. Most reputable businesses make it easy to stop receiving emails from them.
