Email scams are getting smarter—and they’re targeting everyone. These fake messages often pretend to be from companies like Wix, GoDaddy, PayPal, or even your bank. They look official, but they’re designed to trick you.
I hear it all the time from clients: “Is this email real?” Most of the time… it’s not.
What Scam Emails Usually Say
“Your account will be shut down”
“Click here to renew your service”
“Update your payment information now”
They may use real company logos and professional layouts, but that doesn’t make them legitimate.
Rule #1: Don’t Click Any Links 🛑
If something feels off:
Go directly to the company’s official website
Log in to your account from there
Check for real alerts or notifications
How to Spot a Scam Email 📬
Sender’s email address is strange, misspelled, or doesn’t match the company
Message feels urgent, rushed, or threatening
Awkward grammar or phrasing that just feels “off”
Requests for personal info like passwords or credit card numbers
How to Protect Yourself 🔐
✅ Turn on 2-Factor Authentication so even if someone gets your password, they can’t log in without your code or phone
✅ Never share login info over email or text
✅ If you’re unsure, ask—better safe than sorry
