How to identify and avoid spam emails

• Be suspicious of

  emails received from people or organizations you don’t know

  . If you have not interacted with them, it is unlikely anything they send to you will be legitimate

• Don’t always trust emails with an included URL, especially if there are

  link shorteners imbedded

  which make it hard to tell where a link will really take you

• Be suspicious of

  unopened attachments

  included in messages from business organizations

• Never give information which is being requested

  by email, such as login credentials. If you’d like to follow-up for more information, go to the company’s website to contact them directly

• Verify the email domain

  to ensure that it matches the company that the email claims to be sent from

• Install

  TELUS Online Security

  to protect your devices

• Regularly

  check your junk mail folder

  and

  mark valid emails as Not spam

• Unsubscribe

  from unwanted email distribution lists
