How to Identify a Phishing Email
Most phishing emails do not look dramatic. They look vague, urgent, or just specific enough to make the next click feel more important than the pause it deserves.
People often fail to check the sender carefully. A fake cloud-deletion email with a 24-hour deadline can look routine enough to miss.
Most people read the request and skip the sender, which is usually where the scam shows up. Before you trust it, search a few exact words from the message or sender and see what shows up.
