One word that instantly tells you an email is fake
GOOGLE has told Gmail users to conduct an important "spot check" to avoid falling victim to a sophisticated new wave of scams.
Cyber crooks were found to be sending dodgy links to email users that would redirect them to a fake login page. The new phishing kit, which is currently being sold on the Dark Web, can even bypass two-factor authentication , which is used to secure accounts. This means double-checking the details of an email, making sure what it's saying makes sense and validating the email address of the sender.
