Email Scams
Email scams are deceptive messages sent by fraudsters aiming to trick recipients into sharing personal information, money, or access to sensitive accounts. They often appear to be from legitimate sources, such as banks or well-known companies, using urgent language to create a sense of crisis. Common tactics include phishing, where attackers pose as trusted entities to harvest credentials, and advance-fee scams, where victims are promised large sums of money in return for an upfront payment. Always verify the sender's identity and be cautious before clicking links or providing information. Recognizing these signs can help protect against fraud.
