Check the Contents

The contents of a phishing email are very important, and you’ll see some distinctive features that makeup most.

If the contents sound absurd, then most likely it’s a scam.

For example, if the subject line said, “You won the Lottery $1000000” and you have no recollection of participating then that’s a red flag.

When the content creates a sense of urgency like “it depends on you” and it leads to clicking a suspicious link then it is most likely a scam.
