Avoid Phishing Attacks

Be careful anytime you get an email asking for personal information. If you get this type of email, remember this:

• Don’t click any links or provide personal information until you've confirmed the email is real.
• If the sender has a Gmail address, report the Gmail abuse to Google.

Note: Gmail won't ever ask you for personal information over email.

When you get an email that looks suspicious, here are a few things to check for:

• Check that the email address and the sender name match.
• Check if the email is authenticated.
• Hover over any links before you click on them. If the URL of the link doesn't match the description of the link, it might be leading you to a phishing site.
• Check the message headers to make sure the "from" header isn't showing an incorrect name."
