weird herm<p>Does anyone have a good printable document for spotting email &amp; web scams? My dad just got into another one. I’ve been through checking email addresses and URLs but that doesn’t seem to stick. This time it was a Norton “refund” <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/scam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>scam</span></a> and they almost got his bank account info. </p><p>I was thinking a checklist we could print out near his computer would be useful. So he’d have a list to review when thinking about whether to click or not. </p><p>Boosts welcomed<br><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/InternetSafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InternetSafety</span></a></p>
