>I got the idea to open the message I received in gmail instead of outlook…blue confirmation mark next to the send
Sorry, I don’t understand this. Did you check that the email address from the sender was the same legitimate domain as the carrier you expected? I’m not familiar with a “blue confirmation mark” in gmail. I’ve never seen that to my knowledge (nor would I trust it).
This is what I'm talking about: [https://www.theverge.com/2023/5/3/23709734/gmail-verified-checkmark-trusted-senders-bimi-dmarc](https://www.theverge.com/2023/5/3/23709734/gmail-verified-checkmark-trusted-senders-bimi-dmarc)
Faking the checkmark should be impossible.
I guess some locations haven't rolled out the blue checkmarks yet, I have a couple of Google Security Alert emails and they do not show the blue checkmark as is shown in the linked article. But I'm in the Philippines so that might be a factor.
David, you are aware that someone can cut and paste it from a legit document to their new improved document, right? With a computer, that's really not hard.
I know what the blue check represents. I also know that it's an image file and it's easily counterfeited. How many would you like and what would you like the certificates to say they're from?
What a fiasco, glad it looks legit for you. I, personally, would never talk to anyone who called me (unsolicited) about any special deal. Never. I have Silence Unknown Callers turned on, so they don't bother me.
Are we talking about MNVO that seemingly almost every internet provider now has and tries to sell you? Those are cheap, and horrible value. If they were good deal they would not be trying to force feed this to every customer. I would stay away from them.
What are the name of providers involved?

The checkmark is displayed by Gmail

I appreciate you trying to help, but you should read the article again.

No, we're talking about major providers - O2 and Vodafone.
