Just last month, Google introduced a brand new system aimed at helping its billions of users spot genuine emails from those that are fake. The upgrade, which is a lot that found on Twitter, uses a new blue tick-style system to easily show that emails have come from a verified source and not a scammer trying to fleece their victims.
It makes perfect sense as when a message drops into an inbox, a quick glance shows the account is real and can be instantly trusted. However, it seems this system may not be foolproof and it could actually make spotting scams even harder.
