Before you check: which warning signs do you spot? (tap all that apply)

How to spot a fake email or text

Learn these 7 warning signs, then test yourself above.

  1. 1. Pressure to act fast

    Deadlines, threats, or "your account will be closed". Scammers rush you so you don't stop to check.

  2. 2. Asks for secrets

    Passwords, card numbers, or SMS codes. Real banks and couriers never ask for these by email.

  3. 3. Odd links

    Read the web address carefully: look-alike names (paypa1.com), short links (bit.ly) or unrelated sites are red flags.

  4. 4. Sender doesn't match

    The name says a famous company, but the email address or phone number is random, foreign, or unfamiliar.

  5. 5. Generic greeting

    "Dear customer" instead of your name: the same message is often sent to thousands.

  6. 6. Surprise money or bills

    Prizes, refunds, unpaid fees or invoices you didn't expect are classic bait.

  7. 7. Unexpected attachment

    Files you didn't ask for can hide harmful software. Don't open them.

The golden rule: never use the link or phone number in a suspicious email or text. Open the company's official app or website yourself, or call 165 to ask.
