noun. A spoof e-mail, also known as a phishing e-mail, is a type of fraudulent or deceptive message that appears to be sent from a legitimate source, but is actually manipulated or falsified. These e-mails are designed to trick recipients into providing sensitive information, such as passwords, credit card numbers, or personal details, by impersonating a trusted entity like a bank, government organization, or well-known company. Spoof e-mails often contain links to fake websites or attachments that can install malware onto the recipient's device. It is essential to be cautious and verify the legitimacy of e-mails before providing any sensitive information or clicking on suspicious links. GPT3.5
