Check the Sender Carefully
Fraudsters often use fake or slightly misspelled addresses. Always inspect the email domain before clicking links or replying.
Hover Before You Click
Place your cursor over links to reveal the true destination. If the URL looks suspicious, don’t click it.
Don’t Fall for Urgency
Scammers use urgency to cloud judgment. Legitimate companies rarely demand immediate action by email or SMS.
Protect Personal Information
Never share passwords, banking info, or personal IDs over unsolicited messages. Real institutions won’t ask for them this way.
Use Multi-Factor Authentication
Enable MFA on your accounts. Even if your password is stolen, an attacker can’t log in without the second factor.
Keep Software Updated
Regularly update your apps, browsers, and devices. Security patches close vulnerabilities that criminals exploit.
Educate Yourself & Others
Learn to recognize red flags and share knowledge with family or coworkers. Awareness is one of the strongest defenses.
