What to do if you suspect an email is a scam
Do not click on any links at all
Delete the email - note that it will go into your deleted mailbox
Delete the email from your deleted mailbox to prevent accidental opening later
Never send money to anyone based on information in an email without double checking
Never click on a link in an email asking you to confirm your account.
Your bank will never ask you to confirm your account or login details by email
You should take these steps if ...
your Security program flags the email as a virus
the email is from someone you do not normally get emails from
you get an email saying a friend is in a foreign country and has lost their money
you get an email from your bank asking you to confirm your login or anything similar
you have not just reset your Email or account password but you get a message telling you about a password change
charity request emails are often not legitimate, especially if you have never subcribed to the charity before
