🔍 Check the Sender
Look at the email address, not just the name. Is it from your company's real domain? One wrong letter = scam.
⏰ Beware Urgency
"Act NOW or else!" is almost always a trick. Real companies give you time to respond.
🔗 Don't Click Links
Hover over links first. If the URL looks weird or doesn't match the company, don't click it.
💰 Never Pay to Win
If you have to pay money to claim a prize, it's 100% a scam. Real prizes are free.
🎁 No Gift Card Requests
No boss or company ever needs gift cards for business. Gift card request = scam, every time.
🏦 Banks Never Email for Passwords
Your bank will never ask for your password, PIN, or SSN via email. Call them directly if unsure.
