How to recognize phishing
Phishing uses urgency, emotion, and impersonation to push a recipient into acting before checking the source.
Phishing and scams
Recognize fraudulent messages, calls, and websites.
Suspicious text message: what to do
Fraudulent texts often impersonate a courier, bank, government office, or mobile operator and lead to credential theft.
Fake delivery message
Delivery scams commonly ask for a small fee or address correction to steal card or login details.
Fake bank text or call
A criminal may know your name, bank, or partial details, but that never proves legitimacy.
Fake small fee or one-unit payment
A tiny fee lowers suspicion, while the fake payment form can capture complete card or banking details.
Payment-code scam
A compromised friend’s account may send an urgent request for a payment code. Verify through another channel.
Fake investment and celebrity ad
Investment scams promise fast returns, use fabricated articles, and route victims to a supposed adviser.
Bank employee impersonation
The caller invents a threat to the account and pushes for a transfer, app installation, or code disclosure.
