One click could cost everything. Spot phishing in seconds. Here's what to look for.
- Inspect the sender: check the full email address or phone number, not just the display name.
- Be wary of urgent language or threats pushing you to act immediately.
- Hover or long-press links to preview the URL — if it’s suspicious or doesn’t match, don’t click.
- Watch for poor grammar, odd formatting, or generic greetings like “Dear customer.”
- Unexpected attachment? Don’t open it — confirm with the sender first.
- If asked for personal info, verify the request through a separate channel (call the company’s official number).
- Look for domain tricks and tiny misspellings (e.g., paypa1.com vs paypal.com).
- Use a password manager, enable two-factor authentication, and keep your software up to date.
- Unsure? Delete it, report it to the platform or IT, and change passwords if you clicked something.
