General guidelines for recognizing these emails:
1) Check the sender: Examine the sender's email address carefully! It is often similar, but not identical to the original. It is suspicious if the address is similar to the name of a well-known organization, but with minor differences.
2) Spelling and language: Fake emails often contain grammatical or spelling errors.
3) A too general salutation ("Dear User") or no salutation at all is also suspicious.
4) Urgency and threat: Fraudsters often use an urgent or threatening tone ("log in immediately", "click here, or...").
5) Links and attachments: Never click on unknown links or attachments. Hover over the link without clicking and check the real web address.
6) Service providers never ask for personal data, passwords or banking information in an email.
