Look for:

• Urgent or threatening language
• Asks for personal information (credit card info, bank info, username/password)
• Misspelled URLs or links to fishy websites
• Winning a contest or lottery that you never signed up for
• Unexpected emails/messages (receipts for things you didn’t purchase, emails from companies you don’t use)
• Incorrect sender emails (look similar to legitimate senders, but are misspelled or out of order)
• Suspicious attachments or files
