Tips to Avoid Phishing

Ways to Spot a Phishing Email

Don't trust display names - Check the sender's email address before opening a message- the display name might be a fake.
Check for typos - Spelling mistakes and poor grammar are typical in phishing emails. If something looks off, flag it.
Look before clicking - Hover over hyperlinks in genuine-sounding content to inspect the link address.
Read the salutation - If the email is addressed to "Valued Customer" or "Dear Employee" instead of to you, be wary. It's likely fraudulent.
Review the signature - Check for contact information in the email footer. legitimate senders always include them.
Beware of threats - Fear-based phrases like, "Your account has been suspended" are prevalent in phishing emails.
