How to Tell if an Email Is a Scam
Scam emails often create urgency, impersonate a trusted company, ask you to sign in through a link, or request money and sensitive information.
Check the actual sender address
The display name can say Microsoft, Apple or your bank while the real address belongs to an unrelated domain.
Do not use the link in a suspicious message
Open the company website yourself or use the official app.
Be suspicious of urgent payment changes
Requests to buy gift cards, change bank details or send money quickly should be independently verified.
Watch for fake login pages
A page can look identical to Microsoft or Google while sending your password to an attacker.
If you already clicked, act quickly
Change the affected password from the real service, review active sessions, enable MFA and contact your bank if money or card details were involved.
