We have recently seen an increase in deceptive phishing emails hitting our inboxes. One common scam circulating right now looks like an invitation from Paperless Post (often coming from fake addresses like Paperless.Paperpost). These emails are designed to look official, but clicking on them can compromise your account or personal information.
- Quick Tips to Keep Your Account Safe
Do Not Click Suspicious Links: If you receive an unexpected email or invitation that feels off, do not click on any links or buttons inside the message.
- Verify Directly: If you receive a suspicious email, go directly to the organization’s official website, or contact the person who supposedly sent it through a trusted phone number or separate email to confirm it is legitimate.
- Update Your Email Password: Changing your email password regularly is one of the single best ways to protect yourself. A strong password keeps scammers from gaining access to your inbox and using your email address to send fake messages to others.
