Learn more to protect yourself from spoof (fake) e-mails.
If the company sent this e‑mail to you at your address it's because your Notification Preferences indicate that you want to receive general e‑mail promotions.
An
email sent from the company will address you by your first and last
name or your business name. They won't ask you for sensitive information
like password, bank account, credit card details...
Most fake emails threaten that your account will be in jeopardy if you do not take action immediately.
An
email that urgently requests you to supply sensitive personal
information is usually an attempt at fraud. Also, fake emails often
contain misspellings and grammatical errors or are written in a language
which you did not set as preferred for your account.
The
email sending the message is not for example info@company.com it will
be for example info@company.xxxy.com or another in the same type
Remember not to click any links in suspicious looking emails.
