          Just trust your instinct! If you think it's a scam then leave it away. Most scammers offer so good to be true stuffs so you all need to be careful.

            Principally, if it reads too good to be true then it’s almost certainly a scam.
            The easy things to look for in an email or post are

            1. The sender.
            If the email claims to be from your bank yet the sender is not your bank then it’s a scam. Scammers use odd domain names such as printerdirectone.com or matlfinsihers.com but they also use domain names that are similar to what you would expect of the organisation. E.g. Sainsburys vouchers .co.uk or Lloydsbankaccount.co.uk or Lloyyds.com so read the sender’s address carefully
            2. Sent To.
            Any reputable organisation you’re dealing with knows your name so if the Sent To box shows “anonymous recipients” or shows the sender’s name then it’s a scam
            3. If the email claims to be a company and the bottom of the message does not contain a person’s name and contact details then it’s a scam.
            4. If the language is peculiar, there are misspellings, unusual grammar and similar mistakes then it is likely to be from a scammer.
            5. If the message contains a link then check where the link would take you to by hovering the cursor over the link. If the link words and actual address are different then it’s from a scammer. Do not click the link.
            6. If the message asks for your personal information then don’t reply unless you are sure the person is trustworthy.
            There are many more indicators of scam messages but it’s also true that scammers write their messages in various forms so do be careful and if in doubt – do not click or reply.
