Top Tips to Spot Facebook Scams
- Watch for impersonal greetings. Scammers often don’t use your name.
- Check the sender’s email. Hover over the address without clicking. If it looks strange or full of random numbers, it’s dodgy.
- Spot poor-quality logos or outdated branding. Real companies keep their emails looking sharp.
- Ignore attachments and links. Only open them if you’re 100% sure of the sender. These can unleash viruses.
- Beware of bad spelling or urgent language. Scammers rush you to make mistakes.
