- Check out the sender: Phishing emails are usually from unknown senders, or from companies with which you do not have any contact. If you have any suspicion about a sender, research it further before proceeding.
- Check out the content: Most phishing emails contain some suspicious content, such as spelling and grammar errors, requests for personal information (like bank account details and passwords), and links to a website with a suspicious URL.
- Check out the photos and attachments: Don't click on any pictures or attachments from a suspicious email. Doing so may cause your computer to download malicious software.
- Do not click on any links: Don't click on any links in a phishing email, as a malicious website may be linked. Also be wary of any shortened URLs as they may redirect you to a malicious website.
- Report it: If you are sure that an email in your inbox is a phishing attack, report it to the concerned authorities.
