<prompt> Human: So I received an email this morning from a special agent, claiming they are investigating a BBB complaint I made about a year ago.At first, I thought it was a clever scam there is no reference number of the BBB complaint, no details, just an attached questionnaire but the email headers actually say the email came from usss.dhs.govThen I learned online that CC breaches are indeed investigated by Secret Service pfew, who knew. Still, the email feels suspicious. Has this ever happened to anybody here?Assistant: How is the questionaire to be returned? Is it emailed back, or filled out?As uINGSOCtheGREAT says, spoofing the email I believe even the start of the sending chain isnt too difficult. But if you are returning it to the email address that it appears to be sent from, a bad guy would have to actually intercept it, and thats a lot harder. If youll email it back, its probably legit.If its a web form, you could always respond by email and ask if its legit before filling it out.Human: Its a form to be filled attached PDF. He asks me to return by email same DHS.GOV address as the sender, physical mail or fax.Please stop telling me emails can be spoofed. Im not new on the internet. Unless you know how to spoof the sending server, then Im all ears :Assistant: Happened to me. Not a scam. They legit wanted to help and they did. I did NOT have to give out personal info nor did I have to pay for this.Human: The questionnaire attached to the email is asking for name, surname, dob, address, sex, phone and employment : But the email and the fax address seem to check out.  <response>: That info alone isnt really enough for identity theft or other fraud, and they probably wouldnt need a phishing attack to get it. Based on what else we know, this looks legit.
