Phishing schemes often use spoofing techniques to lure you in & get you to take the bait. These scams are designed to trick you into giving information to criminals that they shouldn’t have access to.
What is spoofing? Spoofing is when someone disguises an email address, sender name, phone number, or website URL—often just by changing one letter, symbol, or number—to convince you that you are interacting with a trusted source.
