1. Look for unusual messages from contacts. Phishing emails often contain language that is not typical of the contact.
2. Be suspicious of requests for personal information. Legitimate companies should never ask for your password, bank account numbers, or other sensitive information via email.
3. Verify the sender‘s email address and URL. Go directly to the company website and look for a legitimate email address associated with the sender. Do not click on any links that may be included in the suspicious message.
4. Check whether attachments have trust indicators. Hover over any attachment link before you download it and make sure it includes an HTTPS prefix, which indicates the link is secure.
5. Avoid clicking on suspicious links. Before you click, hover over the link to check if the URL appears legitimate. If it looks suspicious, do not click on it.
