My s t e r i o u s Me s s a g e s Phishing emails often appear to come from someone you know or trust. But they can also come from unknown senders. Always check the sender’s email address U r g e n t D e m a n d s Phishing messages often direct you to take action immediately, implying that something negative will happen if you don’t. These messages are meant to get you to react before you think. Always stop and think before taking action. Does the request make sense? S n e a k y L i n k s One of the most common signs of phishing is the request to open an unexpected link or attachment. Malicious links or attachments can be used to steal your login info or other data. Never open links or attachments from unknown or suspicious senders. If you need to sign in to a website, go directly to the known, legitimate address. B e f o r e t a k i n g a n a c t i o n , s t o p , l o o k , a n d t h i n k ! Does i t seem suspicious , out of place, or just strange? Then report the message and delete i t immediately! U p t i m e
