FBI says email con artists are pulling in $26 billion a year by scamming people.

You should be particularly skeptical if the person asking you to keep quiet.
"Always check the domains that you're receiving emails from," says Larson .
" Lookalike domains are very common: someone will do a slight variation, like an l’ instead of an i’, to make it look legitimate.
