"Protect Your Inbox: Beware of Scams Targeting Gmail, Outlook, and YouTube Users"
TL;DR
The FBI has warned Gmail and Outlook users to be wary of investment scams that promise "guaranteed returns" as they are often a red flag for fraud. Cybercriminals often ask for upfront cash in exchange for guaranteed future returns, but there is no such thing as a guaranteed return on investment. The FBI also warned people about Ponzi-style schemes, pyramid scams, and Nigerian Letter or 419 schemes. If you spot any of these scams in your inbox, report them to your email provider and make sure they're deleted.
