Pay attention to the content of the email, be cautious if:
A sense of pressure and urgency – Cyber criminals normally rely on a sense of pressure and urgency to prompt instinctive and immediate action.
Unexpected communication – The email often contains unexpected information with an unusual request. The format is unusual, even when it comes from an apparently known sender.
Sender Address – The sender’s address often contains errors, including that of coming from a generic address, or from foreign addresses.
Spelling errors – Mass emails (spray phishing) often contain spelling mistakes, which are the result of rough translations. The opening formulas are generic, such as “dear customer”.
Malicious links – Phishing emails induce people to click on links with anomalies: the “visible” link often does not coincide with the “real” link and the real link points to sites other than the “expected” ones.
