Email scams, identity theft, and account takeover all start with one convincing email. You can't spot every fake — but we can.
Every day, criminals send billions of emails pretending to be companies you trust. Here's what they're after.
Fake login pages steal your passwords to access your email, bank, shopping accounts, and social media — then lock you out.
Criminals pose as the IRS, your bank, or employers to harvest your Social Security number, tax info, and personal data.
Fake shipping notifications from "Amazon," "UPS," or "FedEx" lead to fake sites that steal your payment information.
Fake payment requests from "PayPal," "Venmo," or "Zelle" trick you into sending money or entering credentials.
These aren't gullible people. They're busy people who got one convincing email at the wrong moment.
"Kevin and Nicole Noar, a young couple in Carlsbad, California, were buying their first home. They received an email that appeared to be from their escrow company with wiring instructions. The email address was nearly identical to the real one. They wired their entire down payment. By the time anyone realized, the money was gone — transferred overseas and unrecoverable."
"I got an email that looked exactly like it was from Google. It said someone in another country was trying to access my account. I clicked the link, entered my password to 'secure' my account — and that's when they got in. Within hours, they had my email, my Amazon, and were resetting passwords on everything."
"The email looked like it came from my HR department asking me to verify my W-2 information for tax season. Same logo, same format. I filled out the form. Two months later, someone had filed taxes in my name and taken my refund. I'm still dealing with the IRS."
"I was expecting a package, so when I got a text about a delivery issue, I didn't think twice. The link looked like the UPS site. I entered my credit card for a $3 'redelivery fee.' They charged $3, then $800, then $2,400 before I caught it."
