Just got an email congratulating you on free loyalty rewards and a prize for a short survey? Hold on! This might be a phishing attempt.

Phishing emails try to steal your personal information. Here's how to spot this scam:

  • Generic greetings ("Client Services") instead of your name.
  • Promises of free rewards to lure you in.
  • Suspicious email address like a Gmail account (.com).
  • Separate reply-to address different from the sender's.

Don't click links or attachments! Delete the email and report it to your email provider.

Remember, legitimate companies won't pressure you or use suspicious tactics. Stay safe!
