Why am I receiving suspicious emails and messages asking for personal information?

1. Verify the source. Carefully inspect the email address and look for any irregularities such as spelling mistakes or extra characters that could indicate a fake address.
2. Do not click links. Avoid clicking links or attachments in emails from unknown senders. This is because links can contain malware and malicious scripts that can compromise your device if clicked.
3. Be careful what information you share. Refrain from sharing personal and financial information, such as your date of birth, Social Security Number, bank account details, etc. Do not respond to messages asking for information from an untrusted source.
