Quick Win - Verify the "from" email address
情色空间 is back to school, and unfortunately, so are the scammers. Remember to stop and think when you get an email you are not expecting, even if it appears to be from someone you know. Checking the actual 鈥渇rom鈥� address of an email is a smart step to avoid scams:
- 鈥嬧�媁hen you receive an email you weren't expecting, check the听actual email address听of the sender (don鈥檛 just trust the 鈥淔rom鈥� name).听If needed,听click听on the little arrow 鈻� next to the "to" field, to听Show details听about the sender:鈥�
This message appears to be from 鈥淧rof. Greyson Ryan鈥� but the 鈥渇rom鈥� address does not end with @bc.edu听and is not 鈥渟igned-by鈥澨樯占�.EDU.
This message should听not听be trusted.
- Emails claiming to be from a 鈥溓樯占溻�� person without an @bc.edu听email address should be viewed with听extreme skepticism. A sender name is easy to fake.
- 听If you aren鈥檛 sure if an email is authentic, instead of replying, contact the sender using information you already have about them (such as their 情色空间 email address from the 情色空间 Directory).
The 鈥渇rom鈥� address of this message is valid, since it ends with @bc.edu听and is 鈥渟igned-by鈥澨樯占�.EDU.听This message can be trusted.
