Phishing scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated. It's crucial to stay vigilant. Spear phishing is a type of scam where you receive an email that looks like it's from a trusted company, like FedEx or Amazon.

 

The goal is to steal your personal information, payment details, or account access. These emails often look legitimate, so always double-check the sender’s domain name—if it's not the company's official site, don't trust it.


If you’re not expecting a message from a company, be cautious. Large businesses typically don’t request sensitive information via email. When in doubt, contact the company directly to verify the communication.
