How to avoid email fraud
Google's Gmail already has such security that protects you from email fraud. But you can be careful yourself by keeping a few things in mind:

Be careful of emails from unknown people: If you receive an email from an unknown person and he is asking for your personal information, then be careful in opening it.

Do not take any decision in haste: If some unknown person is hastily asking you for your personal details, then do not pay attention to such emails. Especially avoid giving information like bank account, home address or credit card number.

Check the address of the email sender: Sometimes you feel that the email has been sent by a reputed and responsible organization, like your bank. But if you check the email address of the email sender, the real address will be revealed. The address you see in the email may be different from the real email ID. Therefore, definitely check the email address.

Pay attention to the website's domain: Fraudsters often use domain names that are similar to the original website. For example, if the real website's domain is @thisisgoodlink.com, the fake website's domain might be @thisisagoodlink.support.

Do not click on links immediately: If you are suspicious of an email, do not click on the link contained within it. You can either type in the website address directly, or hover over the link to see where it actually goes.

Pay attention to grammar mistakes: Although fake emails are more well-written than ever before, they often contain mistakes, such as misspellings, poor grammar, or using different fonts. If you see such things in the email, avoid opening it or clicking on the links given in it.

Ignore password reset: Many times fraudsters trick you into resetting your Gmail password so that they can access your account. If you have not sent any request to reset your password, delete such email directly.
