Une aubaine pour les escrocs

Une adresse sous la forme : banque@financier.com ou encore martindupond@consultant.com, n'est pas forcement une adresse professionnelle.
En effet, certains sites proposent gratuitement l'utilisation de noms de domaine pour une adresse de messagerie gratuite.

Ces services sont fréquemment utilisés par les escrocs pour monter les arnaques qui circulent actuellement sur les sites de petites annonces ou par mail (SCAMS).

Éviter le piège

En règle générale, la meilleure façon de savoir si un mail est réellement professionnel, est de faire une recherche sur annuaire pour vérifier l'existence réelle de cette société et de la contacter par mail ou téléphone pour s'assurer que les emails et numéros de téléphone correspondent bien à ceux fournis par votre interlocuteur.
