π¨ Not Every Email Is What It Seems! π¨
Spam: Unsolicited bulk emails, often advertising a product or service. While mostly annoying, spam can sometimes contain links to malicious websites.
Email is one of the most common ways scammers attempt to steal personal information, gain access to accounts, or trick people into sending money.
These scams are often called phishing attempts.
Phishing occurs when someone sends a fraudulent message pretending to be a trusted person, organization, or service. Their goal is to convince you to click a suspicious link, share sensitive information, or take an action that puts your account or personal information at risk.
Unfortunately, these scams can be very convincing. Some even appear to come from people you know, including coworkers, administrators, or other district employees.
Just because an email comes from someone you recognize doesn't always mean it's legitimate.
Phishing: A more dangerous type of email where scammers impersonate legitimate organizations (like your bank, a social media site, or a government agency) to trick you into revealing sensitive personal information, such as passwords, credit card numbers, or your Social Security number.
This guide is designed to help users with all levels of technical skill learn how to identify and protect themselves from spam and phishing attempts.
