Scam Emails?

Have you received scam emails before?

I have before and I just delete them.

I don't think this is legit because it's too good to be true.

those spam emails are nothing compared to the viagra ones i receive everyday :sweating:

but yea, definitely look fake. dont give ur info

Just don't give out info to unsolicited emails and you'll be fine.

I think most people have gotten phishing emails before. I've gotten ones that say my bank account has been terminated due to data loss/inactivity/another dumb reason and asks for my ID and password to "recover the data." I guess some people actually fall for them, but they are pretty easy to spot.

SHSS, you did the right thing by ignoring that crap. Neither would I fall for tricks like that. Especially given the current great depression, most things we need to work hard for it. These come easy offers doesn't seem realistic to me.

I get them a lot and I delete them.

If the offer looks too good to be true, then there's a likelihood it could be fake. And banks would never ask for your log in b'cos they already know about your details on their system.
