Be Skeptical When You Read Your Email

Keep asking "Why should I believe that?" It's important to remember that you can't trust the "from" address on e-mail from outside the organization, as it's often faked by fraudsters and viruses. If you didn't expect a message, link, or attachment from someone, ask yourself why you should trust that it really came from the apparent sender, and that it's safe. When in doubt, it's a good idea to call and verify that they sent you the message.
