In this blog we&#8217;ll go over how to dissect scam emails to help determine if they&#8217;re legitimate. There are a lot of flags that become apparent once you start looking a little bit deeper at the email, of course the scammers are hoping you will just see a dollar sign and move forward.<\/p>\n<h3>The Email<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-58893 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pcmatic-scam-from.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"659\" height=\"61\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-58892 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pcmatic-scam.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"716\" height=\"333\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll start with the main email itself. The scammer wants you to look right at the dollar sign and how much money they&#8217;re offering to &#8220;refund&#8221; you so that you&#8217;ll look past everything else and download the remote tool and give them access to your machine.<\/p>\n<h3>The Warning Signs<\/h3>\n<p>There are truly a lot of warning signs in this email that can clue you in to it being fake. A few of them relate to you as a PC Matic customer individually, which will vary by user. The email opens with a mention that you haven&#8217;t been using your PC Matic services for a long time, you&#8217;ll know very quickly if you have in fact been using them that this is not true. In addition, the refund of $640 is much higher than any of our customers would ever pay for even a lifetime subscription of PC Matic; why would your refund be higher than what you paid? Now lets lay out 5 main factors in this email that should clue us in to its true nature: a scam.<\/p>\n<h4>1. Who is the Email from?<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-58905 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Scam1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"659\" height=\"61\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Right off the bat you should always check where an email is coming from to help determine if it is legitimate. In this case the scammers didn&#8217;t even try very hard, this email came from a very strange email address and shouldn&#8217;t be trusted.<\/p>\n<h4>2. Informal Subject<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-58907 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Scam2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"659\" height=\"61\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While it&#8217;s a less severe mistake, an informal subject should give us enough insight to at the very least continue looking for clues that this may be a scam. Normal Emails coming from any company will have properly formatted subjects with capital letters on product or company names.<\/p>\n<h4>3. Unknown Customer Name<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-58908 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Scam3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"506\" height=\"68\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Whenever a company emails their customers, you can be very certain they&#8217;re going to address the email specifically to you. This email beginning with &#8220;PC Matic User&#8221; is a pretty good clue that the sender has no idea who they are sending the emails to.<\/p>\n<h4>4. Incorrect Grammar<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-58909 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Scam4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"521\" height=\"143\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve all made our fair share of grammar mistakes, but in most cases an email coming from a company will have properly formatted grammar and sentence structure. If you read these sentences out loud, you&#8217;ll notice pretty quickly that they aren&#8217;t properly structured and sound a little strange.<\/p>\n<h4>5. Who am I calling?<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-58910 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Scam5.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"207\" height=\"114\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Okay, if we&#8217;ve made it this far in the email without making the determination that this is a scam, we have another factor to consider. The email wraps up with the scammers phone number, which you can now take and throw into a quick Google search. If this email came from a legitimate company and had their support number on it, a Google search would almost always turn up official company webpages where you could verify the number is correct. In this case, the results are far from that&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-58911 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Scam6.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"659\" height=\"880\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With our Google search done, you can see that there are several hits leading us further to the conclusion that this is a scam. Other users have reported receiving calls from this number where they claim to be from tech support at several other companies.<\/p>\n<h3>Keep Learning, Stay Vigilant<\/h3>\n<p>With all of the problems we found in this scam email it was pretty easy to spot it as a fake. Sometimes scammers will step up their game and may only make one mistake in the email but you have to be vigilant enough to catch it. <a href=\"http:\/\/pcmatic.com\/supported\">PC Matic<\/a> customers can continue to further their Security Education by participating in KnowBe4&#8217;s Security Awareness Training.
