Tips to Spot Phishing Emails
- Check the sender's email address carefully - Look for misspellings or suspicious domains
- Hover over links before clicking - Verify the URL matches the expected destination
- Watch for urgency or threats - Phishing emails often create false urgency
- Look for generic greetings - "Dear Customer" instead of your name is suspicious
- Check for spelling and grammar errors - Professional companies proofread their emails
- Be suspicious of unexpected attachments - Especially executable files or macros
- Verify requests for sensitive information - Legitimate companies won't ask for passwords via email
- Look for official branding inconsistencies - Compare logos and formatting to known legitimate emails
- Trust your instincts - If something feels off, it probably is
- When in doubt, contact the company directly - Use official contact methods, not links in the email
