Dodgy Email Freaked Me Out
I got an email claiming I owed money for a package I never ordered, and it looked super legit until I noticed the sender’s address was off. My last email scare cost me hours cleaning up malware. Can you point me to a reliable email security check to scan my account and make sure no one’s sneaking in?

Re: Dodgy Email Freaked Me Out
Same thing happened to me a few months back – I got this “customs fee” email for a package I never ordered. Looked super official, but then I spotted a weird typo in the sender’s address. I ignored it, but later found my email was actually hacked from an earlier phishing scam. Had to spend an entire weekend resetting passwords and running antivirus. Now I’m way more careful. You can try email hack checker – it’s a quick way to check if your email’s been compromised before things spiral.
