It doesn’t end with E-mail. I just got a letter about added insurance on a 2023 Nissan (DATSUN) that I have never owned. and of course, it had ‘TIME SENSATIVE’ printed to center of the page. Now an even further Delima, IF I called to request if they actually show me on some record somewhere that I did own such a car and who might have made an illegal purchase in my name/ WOUD I be given some sort of true answer or would they just demand more information on me (Phishing) to check it out. Of course, they would readily know if they just posted random car makes and models on such scam outreaches.

Another thing is adding this email has been scanned by (insert AV name) to make it seem safe.

I’ve also started getting emails where when you click the sender it doesn’t actually show the email address. People often say Https is a good sign but if a link uses Https it doesn’t mean the site is secure, just that the connection between you and the site is.

If you get any links from banks etc. just delete the email and go to the site directly. I’m sure I’ve even seen some sites avoid links and just tell people to logon to the site
