check the sender's email
I received two emails this morning, confirming, well, something or other from who? And for rather a lot of money, considering I'm going to have to raid the piggy bank for groceries. I could have asked hubby about it, but he was in a meeting, so I went to my go-to hack, which was to check the sender's email address. Yep, this one's from good old tjajshhshsnshhdh@gmail. That sounds totally legit. So that's my little hack. A good place to start if you're feeling suspicious, is to check the email address, and if it looks as if someone just fell asleep on the keyboard, it's probably a scam. And good old tjajshhshsnshhdh can go in the bin (who knows, maybe they'll find another vowel in there.)
