3. Ask Friends And Family

You know, if you think something might be a scam, a very simple way to discover if that’s genuinely the case is to ask friends and family.

Maybe you’re a little inexperienced when it comes to such things, so an extra pair of eyes (or two, or three – ask as many people as you need) can only help. If, for instance, someone close to you tells you that an email even might be a scam, don’t open it, don’t click anything and certainly don’t send the senders any of your money.
