When receiving emails from unknown users, always verify the legitimacy of the sender's email address. Check if the email domain aligns with the official organization's website. For Gmail users, accessing the 'show original message' feature allows the inspection of SPF, DKIM, and DMARC results to confirm domain authenticity. Scammers often utilize lookalike domains and may spoof email addresses. It is essential to avoid clicking unfamiliar links, especially those related to payments, as these could lead to phishing scams.
"Check whether the sender's email domain matches the official organization's website," he said as one example.
"Also, if using Gmail, look for 'show original message' and review SPF, DKIM, and DMARC results. These are essentially methods that verify the emailer's domain to prevent spam, phishing attacks and other email security risks."
According to Iverson, if something seems too good (or too bad) to be true, it probably is.
"These scammers don't have the time or ability to actually hack into your email accounts. They're just trying to scare unsuspecting people into coughing up money (or Bitcoin)."
