Guide Me on Email Scams After Mom’s Scare
Hey , can you suggest how to catch those sneaky SMS/email scams? My mom got an email claiming she won a free iPhone, but it asked for her card details. She nearly sent them before I intervened. It’s scary how legit it seemed! I need tips to help her avoid these traps since she’s always online shopping.
Yeah, those things are getting ridiculously convincing. My dad almost fell for one saying his Netflix was “about to be canceled” unless he updated payment info. The email looked real at first, but the sender address was just random gibberish. Now I tell him to always pause and check: hover over links, look for spelling mistakes, and never give info through email or text. I also showed him Other Message Types
—it’s handy for quickly testing sketchy links before clicking.
