Subject: Is this email from the “Family Support Division” a scam?
Hello everyone,
I received an email from something called the “Family Support Division,” but it looks quite suspicious to me. Before I call them when they open, I wanted to get your opinions on whether it seems legitimate.
Here are the images of the email for you to check out:

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
It’s definitely a good idea to be cautious about any unexpected emails, especially if they involve personal or sensitive information. Here are a few things to consider:
Email Address: Check the sender’s email address carefully. Official emails from government agencies should come from a legitimate government domain, not a generic email service (like Gmail or Yahoo).
Spelling and Grammar: Look for any spelling or grammatical errors in the email. Official communications typically have a higher standard for language quality.
Links and Attachments: Be wary of any links or attachments in the email. Hover over links without clicking to see the actual URL they point to.
Unsolicited Requests: If the email is asking for personal information, payment, or anything you didn’t expect, that’s often a red flag.
Contact Them Directly: Since you plan on calling, make sure to use a phone number you find on the official government website to verify the email’s authenticity.
It’s always better to be safe than sorry, so following up with them directly is a smart move!
