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.
