Phishing Email - Hi,am Glroia,you have won 3.5 M USD. Send YES for claims.


For the record, a phishing email that made it past SPAM filters.



Email is from Correo Aurrerantz S.Coop. Coordinacion 
which seems legitimate.












However, if you reply you notice the email is different, and contains SPAM email address

How to tell this is a Phishing email?

  1. Check email address in full, if it's not from originating company then it's phishing.
  2. Hover over images and all links in email, if it's not from the company's website then forget it. 

How to examine Email Message Source?

Now let's look at message source
  1. Outlook.com->Actions->View Message Source. 
  2. Gmail.com->More (down arrow to top right)->Show original.
Check for suspicious links, anything that does not originate from the domain.
