Tips for a Scam-Free Break
School breaks and seasonal holidays are busy times for email scams. Be on the lookout for too-good-to-be-true Valentine's shopping deals, unexpected flower deliveries that require you to "confirm payment details", the winning of Valentine-themed giveaways, or the ubiquitous request for gift cards. If you'd like to brush up on your phishing-identification skills, try the Google Phishing Quiz: https://phishingquiz.withgoogle.com/. Have a tech-safe break!
