Check Sender’s Address: Spot suspicious email domains—like “support@paypai1.com”—instead of official ones (e.g., paypal.com) to detect imposters
Look for Spelling & Grammar Mistakes: Scam emails often contain poor phrasing or typos—legit organizations rarely do
Beware Urgent or Threatening Tone: Phrases like “Act now!” or “Your account will be suspended!” are used to pressure you. The FBI says urgency is a major red flag
Inspect Links & Attachments: Hover over links to check real URLs. Unexpected attachments or mismatched link labels often hide malware
Check for Personalization: Generic greetings like “Dear User” instead of your name are common in phishing—they don’t know you
Use Strong Protection Tools: Enable phishing-resistant MFA (e.g. biometrics or hardware tokens), keep software current, and use AI-powered security extensions
Report & Double-Check Suspicious Messages: Don’t reply—report it via official channels or to IT support and verify with the sender using known contact info
