How to handle your spam emails
Monday, July 21st, 2025
We have seen an increase in spam emails lately. Our advice is to proceed with caution with any email. We put together a few helpful hints.
- Never click on links from unknown senders, and be cautious with known senders.
- Do not just click “unsubscribe”. This is sometimes a trap that leads to more spam.
- Do not open any suspicious attachments.
- Do not respond, it only proves you’re a human.
- Mark the sender as “spam or unsafe sender.”
If you are ever unsure, you have many options. You can contact your email provider or IT department, Google part of the email to see if it is a known spam email, or install a spam filter tool. If you fear the worst has happened and you clicked a malicious link in an email, the 1st thing you should do is disconnect from the internet and run a virus scan. Once your computer is secure, change any passwords that you were logged into, prioritizing banking, email, and social media. Always go directly to those websites to update passwords. For maximum security, update these passwords using a different device. You can then report the email to your email provider or IT department.
