The visible name is misused to suggest legitimacy \u2013 this trick is called \u201cemail spoofing\u201d (Wikipedia link).<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"620\" data-end=\"760\">The easiest way: click \u201cReply\u201d and see the real address<\/h4>\n<p>This is how you recognize such fake emails immediately:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li data-start=\"620\" data-end=\"760\">Simply click on \u201cReply\u201d.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"620\" data-end=\"760\">Check which address your reply would actually be sent to.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p data-start=\"762\" data-end=\"1008\">If it does <em data-start=\"833\" data-end=\"838\">not<\/em> show an \u201c@miegermany.de\u201d or \u201c@mieamerica.com\u201d address, but a completely different domain (e.g. outlook.com, gmail.com, etc.),<br data-start=\"964\" data-end=\"967\" \/>\u2192 then it is clearly a fraudulent email.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1010\" data-end=\"1198\">If you have identified such a message, please mark it in your email program as \u201cphishing\u201d, \u201cjunk\u201d or \u201cscam\u201d. The more users report this, the faster such fraudulent accounts can be blocked.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"1203\" data-end=\"1661\">How your email program helps you automatically<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"1203\" data-end=\"1661\">Our email domains are fully protected with modern security standards (SPF, DKIM and DMARC). This allows programs such as Outlook, Gmail or Apple Mail to automatically check whether a message was really sent from our server. If something is wrong, these programs display warning notices \u2013 making it much easier for you to recognize fake emails.<br data-start=\"1595\" data-end=\"1598\" \/>To ensure these functions work reliably, please make sure that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"1663\" data-end=\"1699\">your email programs are up to date<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1701\" data-end=\"1756\">automatic security features have not been deactivated<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1758\" data-end=\"1791\">updates are installed regularly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1793\" data-end=\"1846\">Only then can warning notices be displayed correctly.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"1851\" data-end=\"2033\">The manual check (if you want to look more closely)<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"1851\" data-end=\"2033\">If a message seems unusual but shows one of our domains, you can also check its authenticity directly via the technical headers:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li data-start=\"2035\" data-end=\"2129\">Open the \u201coriginal view\u201d, \u201cmessage source\u201d or \u201cinternet headers\u201d (depending on the program).<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2131\" data-end=\"2204\">In the header of the message, look for the entries SPF, DKIM and DMARC.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2206\" data-end=\"2266\">For genuine messages from MiE, all of them will show PASS.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2268\" data-end=\"2350\">If any entry shows FAIL or is missing entirely, it is not a genuine email from us.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4 data-start=\"2355\" data-end=\"2390\">How you can recognize fake emails<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"2392\" data-end=\"2438\">Content seems unusual or surprisingly urgent<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2440\" data-end=\"2495\">Unexpected links, attachments or payment instructions<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2497\"
