Look for Unusual Requests

Reacties · 207 Uitzichten

Emails asking for personal or financial information are almost always a scam. Banks, and legit companies, will never ask you to send sensitive information.

When in doubt, contact the institution directly to verify the emails legitimacy. Do not use the details in the email you received, as these will most certainly be fake. Use a search engine to find the right company details and contact them directly.

By knowing how to identify the tell-tale signs of phishing emails and viruses, you can greatly reduce the risk of falling victim to scams and other malicious activities. Stay vigilant and stay safe. Is the email urging quick action like updating your details, claiming a prize, or confirming a subscription you dont remember? Be sceptical, as phishing emails prey on peoples anxiety.

Official emails are typically well-written. Be cautious of emails riddled with errors. The bad grammar and spelling are not necessarily a mistake either; they can be intentional to weed out savvier recipients.
