How do I know if an email is from a dodgy sender?

The below is a general Safety protocol that should be used when opening any and all emails.

 Check that the Sender address matches display name of sender (AKA Spoofing)

Spoofing (http://oregonstate.edu/helpdocs/safety-and-security/computer-viruses-fraud/e-mail-fraud/spoofing)

• Check for Grammar and Spelling mistakes is Body and Subject of the email
• Check for a signature or contact info in the Body
• Don’t open links or attachments from unknown senders
• Unsure if the content of the email is legitimate?

1. Then you can reply to the sender, or call them based on the information in the Signature and ask if the content is safe
2. If no response then Delete the email.
3. Unsure, then delete the email

The overriding advice here is  “Delete the email if you are unsure of the Sender or Content”
