Email fraud is similar to other kinds of mail or phone fraud. You may receive an email that looks like it is from a company that you do business with, but it is actually a spoofed email from someone pretending to represent that company. The email may ask you to verify account information or provide an updated account number. Other forms of email fraud include phishing, bogus offers of goods and services, an announcement that you’ve won a prize or sum of money, or a request to help someone in need.
