Yes, the most recognizable part of the fake email is its name and URL. As the comments said, URL must used the HTTPS protocol to make sure that the data is protected.

 

Also one of the thing is difference in original and fake sites. The duplication of site is also known as Pharming. You must search first the original URL of the site before you proceed to ensure the security.

Especially for those, who have accidentally , participated in the fake airdrop campaigns by entering their emails, they are more likely to get the repetitive fake and scamming emails from them. In order to avoid scamming mails just block the senders.

I am using one great alternative for Gmail and it is called Tutanova email.

Today I received one email in my Tutanova account, with this content, asking me to 'update'

First thing you should do when you receive email from anyone is DOUBLE CHECK his email address and not just his name.

Here we can see that name is fake Tutanova Team, and real email address is rhody.ezekiel....

That is first Red Flag.

You should never click any links i your email (example is Resolve Issue Now) and never download any attachments

 

When I hover over that blue field, it can show me short link scammer is using /they often use this tactics to steal your data and crypto)

You should NEVER visit this links.

 

 

This is where links is directing next

FAKE Tutanova website, asking you to enter your details, email and passoword.

Always double check Address bar, and you can see some random web address.

NEVER enter any details.

 

They are using same tactics for Gmail, and all crypto Phishing websites, like fake Ethereum and other coins Airdrops.

If you learned this now, you can apply to any similar situation in future.

 

Stay Safe,

HEX

 

Everyday I received many mails from scammers who sent me many spam link for stolen my account. That's why always I verify every mail when I received. Thanks to you for share this important post. I think if we didn’t share our mail in public place then we protect our account.                  

[Jeet Narayan 1940]

I'm also trying to save from bad emails. So maximum time i blocked that kind of emails. Before I'm no heard about Tutanova. Actually I'm using Gmail to receive all mails. 

[Iamstrong 563]

I specifically use a second mailbox for such emails, which receives all spam, and all normal emails go to the main mailbox.

[Soaib khan 1035]

Therefore if there is an airdrop via email or there is an event where it is not official from the organizer. Then don't ever try to participate through the link sent.

Yes, like me, even if any link is sent to me through email, be it legit or not, I do not click on any link on it. I only click on links I authorized myself from a platform lime exchanges.
