🛡️ Email Safety: How to Spot Spam & Phishing

📬 Spam = Junk Mail

  • Flood of unwanted emails.
  • Often ads for sketchy products or services.
  • Just delete it—don’t engage.

🎭 Phishing = Fake but Dangerous

  • Tries to steal your info or get you to click malicious links.

✅ Do’s

  • Check for weird spelling and odd symbols

    “hElLo mI fRiAnd, เ ๓เรร ץ๏ย !?” = 🗑️

  • Hover, don’t click on suspicious links or attachments.
  • Stay alert to unusual requests—even from people you know.

❌ Don’ts

  • Never click “urgent” links without checking.
  • Don’t share personal details (passwords, bank info) by email.

⚠️ Look Out for Spoofing

🚨 Emails may look real but be slightly off:

  • noreply@dca.dk → could be fake.
  • Messages like:

    “Update your info to receive payment”
    “Suspicious login—click here”
