You're referring to forwarding suspicious emails!

Forwarding suspicious emails to the relevant authorities or organizations can be an important step in helping to combat cybercrime and online fraud. Here are some tips on how to do it safely and effectively:

1. Verify the authenticity of the email: Before forwarding an email, make sure it's not a phishing attempt or a scam. Check the sender's email address, the content of the email, and any attachments or links.
2. Check the email's headers: Look at the email's headers to see if they appear legitimate. You can do this by clicking on the "View" or "Options" menu in your email client and selecting "View source" or "View headers."
3. Forward the email to the right authority: Forward the email to the relevant authority or organization, such as:
   • Your email provider's abuse department (e.g., [email protected])
   • The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at [email protected]
   • The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov
   • Your local law enforcement agency
4. Include as much information as possible: When forwarding the email, include as much information as possible, such as:
   • The full email header
   • The email's content
   • Any attachments or links
   • The date and time you received the email
5. Do not reply to the email: Do not reply to the suspicious email or engage with the sender in any way. This can help prevent further spam or phishing attempts.
6. Keep your email client and operating system up to date: Make sure your email client and operating system are up to date with the latest security patches and updates.

Remember to always exercise caution when dealing with suspicious emails, and never provide personal or financial information in response to an email or phone call.
