Newsletters are sent to e-mail in large quantities and the Internet user needs to know how to distinguish spam from the desired letters. There are several tips by which to determine what a person is in front of: an important document or a scammer's trap.
Instructions
Step 1
If the letter comes from an unknown address, regardless of whether they call you by name or not, it is worth considering. Sometimes fraudsters have comprehensive information about a person, up to the amount of the loan, so it is not surprising that they guess the surname. Don't know the sender's address - don't trust him.
Step 2
Look at the style of the addressee. For example, if an always restrained colleague addresses you with a touch of familiarity and also asks you to rate a candid photo, the link to which he gives here, do not go.
Step 3
It happens that a friend complains that she wants to place an order in an online store, but does not know whether to trust him. She sends an email so that you can express your opinion, and you are happy to scroll through the pages of the site. In order to avoid problems, it is better to call and clarify whether the request was really written by a friend's hand. Sometimes a complete stranger says that he is lonely, and he would like to meet you. Don't believe it. Not only do you receive such letters, and not everything is as simple as it seems.
Step 4
It happens that at the end of an advertisement it is marked in large letters that it is not spam. Remember - you can write anything you want. If you did not ask for certain information on the official sites and did not even register at the specified addresses, then all letters outgoing from them are spam.
Step 5
You should avoid suspicious notifications in which services you know ask for money, ostensibly to re-register annually. Check your email address carefully, down to every sign. Do not send money in any way, even if it seems that everything is in order. Some scammers tell a sad story about cancer patients or about a little girl left without parents. As much as you sympathize with unhappy and disadvantaged people, look for another way to help them.
