Email Safety Tips
✓ Verify sender identity before acting
Never click links or download attachments from unexpected emails. Contact the organization directly using information from their official website.
✓ Check for urgency language
Scammers often use phrases like "act now", "verify immediately", or "urgent action required". Legitimate companies rarely demand immediate action.
✓ Look at the sender email address
Check the full email address, not just the display name. Scammers often use addresses that look similar to legitimate ones (e.g., g00gle.com instead of google.com).
✓ Hover over links before clicking
Preview link destinations in your email client. Phishing links often point to suspicious domains, not the organization they claim to be from.
✓ Never share passwords or personal info
Legitimate companies will never ask for passwords, social security numbers, or financial information via email.
✓ Report suspicious emails
Report phishing emails to your email provider and to the organization being impersonated. This helps protect others.
