The email "from yourself"FORGED
A real scam people fell for this year, next to the real thing. The numbers mark the three things to check: hover or tap one to see what it tells you.
Passport renewal: get 2 photos at the pharmacy, form is in the desk drawer.
Mail it before the trip in March.
Hi jordan.hayes,
The password for your email account expires today. Keep your current password so you don't lose your messages.
Always check the sender.
It carries your own name as the sender, but the address after it ends in ".mailz", which isn't a real web ending. Someone made it up to look like a note you sent yourself.
jordan.hayes@gmail.com is your own address: you sent it to yourself.
jordan.hayes@k7d-relay.mailz uses your name, on an address that can't exist.
Nothing. It's a reminder you wrote.
Click "Keep my password" before it "expires".
No rush.
Your password "expires today".
RememberYour own name as the sender proves nothing. Look at the address after it, and never sign in from a "password expires" email.
