How to Spot Phishing Before You Click

Phishing succeeds when a message looks urgent enough to skip careful inspection. Use these cues before opening a link or sharing credentials.

Check the pressure tactic first

Scam messages often create urgency with account closures, missed deliveries, prize claims, or payment warnings. Pause when a message asks you to act immediately.

Inspect the destination

Look for misspelled domains, extra subdomains, shortened links, and login pages that do not match the official service.

Verify through a separate channel

Open the official app or type the known website address yourself. Avoid using the link inside the suspicious message.
