What is a phishing email?
A phishing email is a fraudulent, criminal attempt to obtain sensitive information such as passwords, credit card details, or personal data. These e-mails often mimic legitimate emails from trusted organizations to deceive recipients.
How do I know if an e-mail I received is legitimately from Crunchyroll or is a phishing attempt?
While phishing emails can be quite sophisticated, there are some common signs to watch out for:
- Check the email address: Be cautious if the email is sent from an unfamiliar or suspicious email address such as hello@crunchyrolll.com.co, cruunchyroll.com, etc.
- Poor grammar and spelling: Phishing emails often contain noticeable errors in grammar, spelling, or formatting.
- Urgent or threatening language: Beware of emails that create a sense of urgency or threaten dire consequences if you don't comply.
- Requests for personal information: Legitimate companies rarely ask for personal information via email.
- Suspicious links or attachments: Avoid clicking on links or downloading attachments from suspicious emails.
Remember: While sometimes we do need to ask for personally identifying information as part of a customer support request or investigation, Crunchyroll will never proactively reach out to you to ask for that information.
What should I do with the email/What Should I do if I have been targeted?
