Spot Email Scams With These Quick Tips

Here are some simple tips to stay safe from scams and phishing:

1. Be cautious if the email:

• Doesn't use your full name and has a generic greeting

• Has incorrect logos, design or looks strange

• Contains suspicious website links

• Includes attachments.

2. Be wary of false urgency

• Scams often create a false sense of urgency. If in doubt, log in to your PayPal account to check for urgent messages or notifications.

3. Watch out for offers that seem too good to be true

• Scammers may use false promises like money in exchange for a favor, lottery wins, or unsolicited job offers.

4. Never provide personal, credit card or account information via email, text or phone
