At SpireTech, our managed services clients often contact the helpdesk to determine if an email is fake or not. We thought it’d be helpful to put together a short instructional video to help you identify some common signs that an email is a phish or fake email.
While this doesn’t cover all the possibilities, we think it hits on the most common ones. Another thing we’re seeing occasionally is a real, targeted email to a client purporting to be be from an owner of the company or a vendor. Always pick up the phone if there’s any question on the validity of an email, and contact our service desk if you need help!
