Email spoofing is the forgery of an email header so that the message appears to have originated from someone or somewhere other than the actual source. Email spoofing is a tactic used in phishing and spam campaigns because people are more likely to open an email when they think it has been sent by a legitimate source.
To Protect Yourself
1. Never click an unexpected link or download an unfamiliar attachment.
2. Learn to read email message headers and check domain names and IP addresses.
Most email programs will let you hover your mouse over an email address (or link in an email). What you see pop up should be identical to what you are hovering over. If it is something different, then it is probably spam or phishing for information.
If you have received a suspicious email, delete right away and do not forward it to anyone.
