What does a phishing email look like?
-
Subject line: “Your account is locked – ACT NOW”
-
Sender:
support@micr0soft.com
(note the “0” instead of “o”) -
Link: Redirects to a fake Microsoft login page
Examples of scams:
-
“Your package could not be delivered” (asks you to log in to a fake delivery site)
-
“You won a raffle!” (asks for bank details)
Pro tips:
-
Check URLs by hovering over them.
-
Verify with the company using official websites—not links in the email.
