Weird phishing email pretending to be from my bank – anyone else getting these?

Featured Replies

Posted

So I just got an email that looked super legit at first glance - it had my bank’s logo and everything, but the sender’s address was a weird string of numbers and letters. The email said my account might be locked unless I clicked a link to verify my info. I didn’t click, of course, but it still freaked me out a bit.

I ran a quick Google search and found out these phishing scams are on the rise lately, but I’m wondering how they’re getting my email linked to my bank account in the first place? I’ve never shared this email anywhere shady.

Has anyone else dealt with these types of phishing attempts? What’s the best way to confirm if an email is legit without exposing myself? Also, any tips on reporting these kinds of scams to help protect others would be great!
