Check out our website for guidance on the different types of scams and how to spot them: https://lncn.ac/y8tf2p

If you have received an email and something doesn't look right...

See who the email is addressed to and always be suspicious if it's addressed to a generic title such as customer. Never click on a link in an email, unless you have originated the initial contact.
