Q: I keep getting emails for official business documents that I have no idea about. What should I do?
A: Getting unexpected emails that appear to be about contracts, invoices, or “final agreements” can feel unsettling. Scammers know that official-sounding paperwork gets attention, which is why these types of phishing attempts are so common.
Why They Work
Messages that reference “completed agreements,” “banking forms,” or “urgent contract updates” are designed to create anxiety and a sense of urgency. Many people click without thinking, worried they’ll miss something important.
It’s like getting a phone call where the caller ID says “Bank,” but the voice on the other end asks you to confirm your account number. Just because the label looks right doesn’t mean the request is legitimate.
