Check whether this email my mom forwarded is a scam

The writer's mother forwarded him an email asking if it was a scam, and he thought it was. His dot corrected him: the suspicious-looking email@contact.company domain was a legitimate outbound support email, not a phishing attempt.

How it works

  1. Receive the forwarded email the user's mother sent
  2. Inspect the sender domain
  3. Determine it is a legitimate outbound support address
  4. Correct the user's own scam judgment

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent overruled the human's scam call, and it was right.
