Is this email about a prize a scam?
You will learn to share a prize email and ask if it looks like a scam.
A you-won email feels exciting. But most prize emails are scams. They hope you will act fast.
ChatGPT can read the email words you share. It can point out the warning signs. It can tell you what to do next.
Real prizes do not ask for money or your password. If it asks for those, it is a scam.
Try this
- Copy the words from the prize email.
- Paste them into ChatGPT, without clicking any links.
- Ask if it looks like a scam.
- Ask what you should do with the email.
A message you can copy
I got an email saying I won a prize. Here is what it says: [paste the words]. Does this look like a scam? What should I do?
Paste it into ChatGPT, then change the words in brackets to fit you. It opens in a new tab, so you will not lose this page.
Buddy says
Never click links or pay money to claim a prize you did not enter.
