Emails that look legitimate but are actually malware delivery tools show up in our inbox everyday.

How can you be positive that the email is a fake? 

1.) Most of the emails you get will have legitimate images attached to them, but they will usually be fraught with spelling and grammatical errors.

2.) They will have multiple places for you to click for further information. The goal is for you to click through to a site to get the malware.

3.) If you hang your mouse pointer over the links in the email and view the link that shows, it never is to a legitimate site. Most of them will go to shortened links or to somewhere that makes no sense what so-ever.

4.) If you look at who sent the email the email address is usually from a Gmail or Yahoo account and not the actual company.
