Follow these simple steps to check if an email is suspicious:
Step 1: Check the sender
Look at the email address carefully. If it looks unusual or slightly different, it may be fake.
Step 2: Look at the message tone
Be cautious if the email asks you to act quickly, share details, or click a link urgently.
Step 3: Check links before clicking
Hover over links to see where they lead. Do not click if the link looks unfamiliar.
Step 4: Avoid unknown attachments
Do not open attachments from senders you do not trust.
Step 5: Look for mistakes
Spelling errors, generic greetings, or odd formatting can be warning signs.
Step 6: Block and report
Mark the email as spam or phishing and block the sender to avoid future messages.
