Impressive Email Scams

I get scams every day. Some just like that. I got one from a Home Depot scam that had me fooled because it looked to me just like some they had been sending. When I clicked on it my email provider intervened and warned me about it. I wouldn't have put any information in even if it had been legitimate, however, because I don't pay them online, but by mail.

I've recently got one from "fedex" telling me they can't deliver my package because of an incomplete address ... I hesitated and then thought of finding FedEx number and calling them but then realized this seems a scam..for the address can't they spoof it? Usually it looks legit.

Another one was Amazon warning me they stopped a large purchase which seemed my account was hacked or something like that so instead I went into my account on Amazon's website just to verify all looked fine.

They do get pretty savvy sometimes.

I bypass emails and go to their site generally. But that Home Depot thing looked real.

I can't tell you how many times I have almost done the same thing.

They've gotten very good at faking the source address. That used to be a key way to spot a scammer. The Amazon warning I got this week had an address that was [email protected]. Almost clicked it, but went to the website and found no problems at all.

The hook was they double billed me and need me to click a link to clear it up.
