You know those emails that scream “URGENT: YOUR ACCOUNT IS COMPROMISED”? They’re not from your bank. They’re from a guy named Vlad in a basement, probably eating cold pizza. Do not click the link. Scammers rely on panic, and panic turns smart people into click-happy zombies.
If an email looks fishy—misspellings, weird urgency, a promise of free cash—delete it with prejudice. Call the company directly if you’re worried, but never use the number in the email. That’s like trusting a barista who says “oh, I totally work here” while wearing a ski mask.
