Some of the scam emails I have received looked very official, but no reputable business will ask you to give info like SSN, Credit Card #s, birthdays, etc. either on line or over the phone. (Unless you initiated the call without prompting from one of these scam emails.)
And all the emails from 'whoever' in 'whatever' country, who represents some foreign bank or company you never heard that ask you to help them with a business transaction, just deposit $$$$ in some account and you will see a return of 500% - scam.
Just delete.
My sister got an e mail a while back which looked very much like it came from her bank. They asked her for her SS number and some other information to "confirm her information". She contacted her bank instead and they said they NEVER ask for personal information by e mail. That said, only confirm information in person even though its sometimes a big hassle.
Also, if you click on spam others from the same place still might go to your spam box but will disappear after 30 days on their own.
