Quick tip: If you get an email that may seem odd, go to the specific website in your browser and see if you have a notification similar to the email. For example, if you get an email saying you get money for signing up for a savings account through your bank , the offer will be in your account when you sign in. Don't click links in your email the sender has sent you, they may be trying to steal your banking information.
