Windows Mail - Phishing

Phishing spelled with PH is where you get an email where the sender wants to buy something or click on a link in the email. In other words the email mail is a hook. If you bit then you may not lose your life, but you bank account will be definitely smaller.

Fortunately, there is a large data base of some of these scams. Windows Mail is connected with that phishing filter. You can elect to have the known phishing email moved to a junk email box where you can review them before deleting them.

Reviewing what is in your junk email box is good. Just in case a business you do business with gets classified as bad, by some disgruntled customer.
