How to spot scams
Spotting scam emails, even the most convincing ones, is easier than you'd think. One way to check if an email is a scam is to look at the email address. If the email is from a company like Facebook or Google, check the extension (part after the @) and see if it matches the website's url. For example, if it is from facebook, then check to see if the email address ends in "facebook.com" or "*any word*.facebook.com. If it's different (like facebook.social) then it's a scam. If it's an email from within your own company or school, then check if the extension matches your work or school email. And if it's from a person, make sure it's actually the person they say they are. If it's someone you don't know, or you don't have a way to confirm, be careful. If they're asking for banking info, login info, or any other peronal info, then DON'T GIVE IT TO THEM!
