Every day, scammers send emails and text messages that appear to come from trusted businesses, financial institutions, delivery companies, or even people you know. Their goal is simple: get you to click a link, share personal information, or send money.
Fortunately, a few extra seconds can make all the difference.
✔ Was I expecting this message?
✔ Does the sender’s email or phone number look legitimate?
✔ Is the message creating urgency or pressure?
✔ Does the link look suspicious?
If something feels off, trust your instincts.
