Identifying suspicious emails

  • Check the sender: Verify the sender's email address and be wary of unfamiliar senders. Pay close attention to checking the email letter by letter as impersonators will make an email similar to a legitimate one and hope you won’t notice. 
  • Look for red flags: Be cautious of emails with urgent requests, misspellings or suspicious links.

Handling suspicious messages

  • Don't click links: Avoid clicking on any links or downloading attachments from suspicious messages.
  • Verify requests: If in doubt, contact the sender directly using a trusted method/contact details.
