Every year millions of people are taken in by a scam. You’ve heard of some of the most common ones like the Nigerian letter schemes. I’m sure you’ve been exposed to several and hopefully have spotted them right away. Unfortunately they do work often enough to keep them coming and new ones are being invented all the time. The key is to be sure you know how to spot and avoid them no matter the packaging.
From time to time an email scam or other hoax comes across my desk that I think is worth sharing. I recently got an email that offers a very good example of how to spot and handle these things so I thought I'd pass it along. The email (reproduced below) appeared to be from Netflix. I love Netflix and this email said that my account had been cancelled. On the surface the email looked just like the emails that Netflix sends but the classic warning flags were there.
