How to Find the Real Sender of an Email in Gmail<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If you use Gmail and you receive a suspicious email, here is how you can find the real sender.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Open the suspicious email. Be careful not to click any links in it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Click on the 3 vertical dots icon located to the right of the Reply button, then click \u201cShow original\u201d in the drop-down menu.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nMake sure the \u201cFrom\u201d address and the \u201cReply to\u201d address match.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Cloudeight<\/span><\/p>\n

Check that the address on the \u201cMessage-id\u201d matches the \u201cFrom\u201d address domain.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the example above you can see that the email is an authentic email from Google. And in the screenshot below you can see you can also copy the source of the email to your clipboard or download the original email to your PC.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look at another example. Here is an example of a fake email telling us that our Google ads account is suspended.\u00a0 We can see the Message-ID shows the sending domain is google-adwords.fr and not google.com.\u00a0 Look closely at the highlighted items in the image below to see other indicators of a phishing email with a spoofed “from” address.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nIf you click the button labeled \u201cDownload Original\u201d the complete email headers are shown. The email headers give many clues that this email is fake.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\nNow if you have any questions about an email, you know how to find out if it is genuine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And always remember – never click links in email unless you’re sure you know who sent it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
