Today, I received two emails telling me to reset my instagram password.  These came from Indonesia.  Interestingly, I have never had an instagram account and have no idea how it works, but I think that most people do use it.  Please be aware.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

Re: Beware of Instagram Emails

How were you able tell that they came from Indonesia?  I have never figured out a source.

 

Good that you were wise to it.

Always IGNORE all emails that tell u to give ur password (and other information) -- OR give information to reset ur password for any site. Real Companies will never ask u for this information. All SCAMMERS!!!!!!!

I have a Comcast email account. Go to any email online in your account.

You should find information about the "source* of each email you receive. Look through these lines of code. You will find near the top your address and further down the sending email or domain address.

Re: Beware of Instagram Emails

at the top under "sender" normally will say "undisclosed sender" or my tip is always look for who it's sent to - "undisclosed recipients" or a "gmail address".

 

either way I never open any emails including ones who claim to be banks, amazon, qvc, etc.
