Double-check the sender
Many of our email programs will display a nickname
instead othe actual email address - attempting to
be helpful. However, if you’re concerned about the
validity of an email, checking the sender’s address is
a good place to start. For example, the message may
say it’s from PayPal but the sending address says
[email protected]
Beware of opening attachments
If you aren’t expecting anything, then it probably isn’t
worth opening.
Trust Your Gut
Some other voices in the industry call it JLDR - if it
“Just Doesn’t Look Right.” If you get a message or land
on a webpage that just doesn’t feel completely legit —
your gut instinct is probably correct.
Report threats immediately
Act quickly if you think you’ve been a victim of wire
fraud or a financial scam. Time is critical. Contact the
financial institution first and request a recall of funds.
Then, contact your local FBI office and report the
fraudulent transfer. File a complaint at www.ic3.gov.
The IC3 will assist the financial institutions and law
enforcement in the recovery efforts of the funds.
Protect yourself. Protect your company. Thank
you for reading this.
