***Social engineers*** may send spam or phishing emails to trick you into clicking a link, logging in to an account, or sharing sensitive information directly with them.
These emails usually contain links to web pages that look legitimate – and may even mimic sites you use for work but they are actually dangerous spoofed web pages the ***social engineer*** has created to trick you.
