Fake emails often (not always) display the following characteristics:
- Sender's email address doesn't match the trusted organization's website address.
- Email is sent from a completely different address or a free web mail address.
- Email does not use your proper name, but uses a non-specific greeting like "dear customer".
- A sense of urgency; ie: The threat that unless you act immediately your account may be closed
- A prominent website link. These can be forged or seem very similar to the proper address, but even a single character's difference means a different website.
- Request for personal information such as user name, password or bank details.
- Email contains spelling and grammatical errors.
- You were not expecting to get an email from the company that appears to have sent it.
- Entire text of the email is contained within an image rather than the usual text format.
- Image contains an embedded hyper link to a bogus site.
