Just go to the site you are concerned with, type in its well known name (google.com, your bank's site, or your business site) and ask questions or do your business that way.

Links in emails and senders' email addresses are often fake but most people don't know how to spot a fake one.

Just observe the "no click" rule.

Be safe, not sorry.
