If a get rich quick scheme somehow finds itself in your inbox, resist the urge to open that e-mail, delete it immediately, and block the sender, security experts said the GISEC 2021 exhibition.

If possible, take a screenshot or photo with your phone, and notify the company or authority that the hacker was trying to impersonate.
