The email scam is one of the most popular methods criminals use to steal information from unsuspecting individuals. Email scams can take many forms, but they all share a common goal: convincing the victim to send money or login credentials to a bogus account. Here are some telltale signs that you may be dealing with an email scam:

One way to protect yourself is to use anti-virus software and update your computer with the latest security patches.

In addition, it would be best to be cautious about opening emails from unknown senders, clicking on links, or downloading attachments. Finally, report it to the appropriate authorities if you think you may be a scam victim.
