AARP Phishing Emails

[OneDayMatisyahu]

I'll start a thread where folks can post any new 'phishing emails' = emails you know to be fake/ false/ scams. I've been a AARP member for about 3 years and I know what 'real' AARP emails look like.

Easy way to know is to hover your 'cursor/ pointer' on the 'who it is From' = and if it isn't from AARP and says something else - then it is a 'phishing/ scam' email = Do Not Open the e-mail / Do Not Click to find out...

And if there is " No Preview is available " = also sign it 'may' be a 'phish/ scam' 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I received today AARP Phish email:

    From:   ...AARP...Department...             Subject:   AARP Knows Rewards! Get you Rewards Here!    No preview is available

When I hover my cursor over ' From:  ...AARP...Department...'   = it reveals the true sender " support@plastic.e-trudi.com" (95.178.107.196). ..and what will happen is they the 'bad guys/ scammers' will constantly change the name of who they really are; obfuscating their ID's

☹️   Be Aware, Be Alert

Another AARP Phish/ fake email today 11-14 and another 11-21

From:   AARP Department     Subject: 3rd Attempt for (your email) - You Have Won a $100.00 AARP Reward....

------------------------------------------------------------------------

It almost looks real, but 'true emails from AARP' should look like this:

   From: AARP Rewards    (hover over reveals) ----->   email@email.aarp.org   

or from Community/ Forum ----->    AARPCommunity@aarp.org

         or from ----->        customercare@helloworldfulfillment.com

Whenever  you hover over the 'From' and you don't see anything = this is a 'phish/ fake' email.

----------------------------------------------------------------

When you receive 'real' winning emails it should say from:

From :      AARP Rewards     ( with no additional trade-marks, signs/ icons/ punctuations or un-usual letterings or un-even capitalizations )

    [ hover over reveals) ---->   email@email.aarp.org ]

There is no " 2nd Attempt... or 3rd Attempt... " in real AARP Subject Lines - 

🤔  Additional Notes:  I see other 'phishing/ fake emails' saying 'I've won this and that' - you don't be tempted to click on these types of 'scam spams'

---  'hover your cursor' to see if legitimate.

---------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------

Still another 'phish/ fake email' today:

From:    👑AARP.Rewards ™️👑 

Subject:   AARP Knows Rewards 👑! Get your ➡️ Rewards Here!

---------------------------------------------------------------

This is too obvious a 'phish/ fake email'

Plus - when I 'hover cursor' over "From' = it is a " .......@gmail.com " = automatically a 'fake/ scammer's email'

😒
