Are there any red flags to look out for in emails from unknown senders?

  1. Carefully review the sender’s email address. If it looks suspicious, do not open the email or any attachments.
  2. Look for misspellings, poor grammar, or other errors that may indicate you are dealing with a scammer.
  3. Look for warnings about account suspension or urgent action. These could be signs of an attempted phishing attack.
  4. Be wary of any email requests to confirm any security or bank details.
  5. If you are suspicious, do not click on any links in the email.

What list of things would you suggest that I do?

  1. Always use strong passwords and change them regularly.
  2. Use two-factor authentication when available.
  3. Be wary of emails that ask you to download or install something.
  4. Never reply to an email message if you believe it to be a scam.
  5. Report suspicious emails to the authorities.
