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.
