Scam emails are fraudulent messages designed to trick recipients into revealing personal information, sending money, or clicking malicious links.
They often impersonate banks, government agencies, or familiar contacts, creating urgency through threats or promises: I almost fell for a scam email claiming my account was suspended.
Common varieties include phishing attempts, advance-fee fraud, and fake lottery winnings.
