Just a note that some email phishers are getting more sophisticated. I help administrate an activist band organization, and the following email with subject "Tаkе Aсtiоn Nоw: Aрреаl Pаgе Susреnsiоn - Cорyright аnd Cоmmunity Stаndаrds Viоlаtiоn". That includes an actual Facebook link, and the landing page there is a little sparse but plausible, but the next link in is to something like "https://lnkd.in/dyT8hAQx", which is a semi-obvious scammy URL but a very legitimate looking page.

Time was spammers didn't work too hard to look legit, the logic being you can filter out the non-gullible, but this one put in the work to have fewer early tells.

And of course, disregard everything purporting to be from Best Buy Geek Squad unless you really know you're doing something with them. There is a scam there absolutely frightening in its use of screen sharing and refund scams, making it look like you're getting a refund and then turning the tables and putting you on your back foot by accusing you of stealing from them. (A relative of mine came scarily near not catching on in time.)
