Brand forgery emails appear from a brand or company that you are familiar with, but it’s not actually from that brand. They are designed to have the same look and feel as the legitimate branded emails from the company and are usually written in the same tone and language along with similar logos and images that gives users the impression that it’s from that company.

The emails are designed to create instant recognition as the phishers have the ability to make their emails look authentic and trustworthy.
