📧 CYBER SENSE ALERT: Spot the Modern Phishing Email 📧
Today's phishing emails are perfect copies from real companies. Don't get fooled.
Your 3-Step Detective Work:
CHECK THE GREETING. A real company will use your name. “Dear User” or “Dear Customer” is a major red flag.
HOVER, DON'T CLICK. Hover your mouse over any link before clicking. The true web address will pop up. If it looks weird or misspelled, it’s a fake.
VERIFY OUTSIDE THE EMAIL. Got a panic message? Close the email. Open your browser, type the official website yourself, log in, and check your account. The “emergency” will vanish.
Bottom Line: Urgency is the scammer’s best weapon. Slow down and verify.
