How to tell this is a Phishing email ?
- Convert the email view from HTML to text, check for bad URls.
- Hover over all links in email, if it's not from the CIBC.com site then forget it.
- The best way is to look at message source, see below.
How to examine Email Message Source ?
Now lets look at message source- Outlook.com->Actions->View Message Source.
- Gmail.com->More (down arrow to top right)->Show original.
For this phony email, well look at the "message header".
At line 21 you have Return-Path: noreply.74123618@baesystems.com
and is the dead give-away since domain is not cibc.com.
Why look at "Return-Path"? When the e-mail is put in the recipient's mailbox, a new mail header is created with the name "Return-Path:" containing the address on the MAIL FROM command. So it's a quick hit to determine authenticity.
Report Phishing Email (not as Spam)
- Outlook.com->Junk (at Top)->Phishing Scam
