Tip: How To Spot A Phishing Attempt

June 2025

Phishing attacks are becoming more convincing, targeting your personal and financial information through fake emails, messages, and websites. Here’s how to stay protected:

Check the Sender

If something feels off, it probably is. Double-check the email address for typos or unfamiliar domains.

Look for Red Flags

Watch for urgent language, grammar mistakes, or unusual requests.

Hover over links before clicking. If the URL looks suspicious or doesn’t match the sender, don’t click it.

Never Share Personal Info

Legitimate companies will never ask for passwords, Social Security numbers, or banking details via email or text.


Stay alert. Stay safe.
