If you receive a suspicious email or message from a friend or family member, here are some steps you can take:
- Verify the sender’s email address – does it match the email address you have on record for them?
- Check the content of the email – does the tone of the message seem consistent with what you would typically expect from them?
- Be wary of unexpected attachments or pictures – these may be malicious content.
- Check for misspellings or unusual grammar – these may be indications of a phishing attempt.
- Be cautious of any requests to click on links – these could lead to malicious sites.
