epodcast162 – Spoof or Phish emails

Sometimes, I get an e-mail pretending to be from PayPal, my bank, or even a bank I do not belong to. E-mails that try to trick you into giving them money, or try to trick you into giving away your passwords, are called phishing e-mails. These e-mails are sent out by scumbags trying to steal from you. This is how I check to make sure my e-mails a legitimate.
