Hi everyone. I've got three more great tips for you to be able to spot those phishing and scam emails from the bad guys.
Number one, always inspect the email domains. It might say that it's coming from PayPal on the name of the user, but they'll always show you the actual email user it's coming from. And if that says, "I'm a sneaky Russian hacker who's trying to steal your money.com", you know, it's not really from PayPal.
Another one is, frankly, I would just avoid the unsubscribes from suspicious emails. Now, there are plenty of legitimate bulk marketing messages and those are gonna come from something like Constant Contact or MailChimp, and they'll usually be identified. Those are pretty clear. They have an unsubscribed policy that has to be followed, but if you get anything else, just skip those and don't bother clicking those unsubscribes. Why you might ask, because clicking the unsubscribe will have the opposite effect of what you hope It's actually gonna validate to the bad guy that your email is legitimate and they will start spamming you a whole lot more.
The last one I wanna share with you, it's frankly, be wary of offers that are too good to be true. Don't set your hopes up and don't buy into the pipe dreams. Hopefully this helps you.
