okay so this email is 100% fake do not
0:03
click anything in here i'm going to show
0:05
you what it looks like and then I am
0:07
gone nah tell you how you can spot these
0:09
types of emails in your own inbox here
0:11
we go your account has been locked due
0:13
to suspicious activity to verify your
0:16
identity and restore access to your
0:17
account please click the link below
0:19
seriously do not click any links in here
0:21
when you hover over the link this is
0:23
what it looks like if you were to
0:25
actually click the link this is what the
0:27
website looks like obviously that does
0:29
not look like a bank website so even if
0:32
you don't see the email if you hover
0:33
over the link you can already spot the
0:36
first red flag which is that the domain
0:38
is not correct now let me tell you some
0:40
other ways you can spot a fake bank
0:42
email number one there's always a sense
0:45
of urgency they try to scare you into
0:46
clicking that link by threatening to
0:48
lock your account so right off the bat
0:50
any type of email that says your account
0:52
will be locked your account has been
0:55
locked your account is under review
0:57
something wrong with your account do not
0:59
click any links in those emails no two
1:03
they typically start off with a generic
1:05
greeting so instead of saying your name
1:07
it will say "Dear customer dear user or
1:10
sometimes they won't even put anything
1:12
and it'll just say something like this."
1:14
Now this is not a rule that 99% of the
1:17
time fake emails will have some sort of
1:19
generic grieving no three obviously we
1:23
talked about this already but there's a
1:25
suspicious link now the way to really
1:27
double check if the link is fake or not
1:30
again you don't have to click anything
1:33
you just have to hover over it if it
1:35
takes you to a different website even if
1:37
it looks somewhat similar to the bank
1:39
website but it's not the actual bank
1:41
website then that email is fake also the
1:44
link itself might look a little odd for
1:47
example instead of having a dot after
1:49
the Kong they will have something like
1:51
this or they will have something like
1:53
this where they replace the mu with the
1:56
number M these are all tactics that
1:58
scammers use to make it harder for you
2:00
to realize that the link is fake and no
2:03
for look out for grammar errors or just
2:05
awkward phrasing so here instead of
2:08
saying you're it says you are and then
2:11
at the end it says sincerely you're bank
2:13
and it's just not worded very well so if
2:16
you see any sort of odd grammar or just
2:17
weird phrasing that could also be
2:19
another clue that the email is fake so
2:22
again here are all the ways you can spot
2:23
a fake bank email look out for emails
2:25
that threaten to lock your account look
2:27
out for generic greetings look out for
2:29
suspicious links and lastly look out for
2:32
odd grammar or just weird phrasing i'm
2:35
