Here are some tips to help spot the difference between real and spoof DocuSign emails:

All URLs to view or sign DocuSign documents will contain “docusign.net/” and will always start with https.
All legitimate DocuSign envelopes include a unique security code at the bottom of notification emails. If you don't see this code, then don’t click on any links or open any attachments within the email. Forward it to spam@docusign.com.
