1. Your first step will be to determine if the Email is Junk or a Phishing attempt.
Junk - usually an advertisement of some sort for a store/product/service or any other unwanted email from an untrusted source. Think of junk email as a digital form of the junk mail you get to your home address.
Phishing - Phishing is a message disguised as something from a trusted source/company. It is important to NEVER click on anything in these emails. These emails can seem urgent in nature, friendly, time sensitive, etc. to grab your attention. Phishing attempts are meant to steal personal information. When in doubt about a phishing attempt, contact the sender directly by phone and verify if the email is legitimate, otherwise, mark it as phish.
