How to Avoid Phishing
Stay Away From Suspicious Emails
Always pay close attention when analyzing emails that look like they were sent from a company or bank. First look at the email address that the email was sent from. Some addresses will be a dead give away that something is up with that email. Next, how does the email address you? If the company really did send that email, they would already know your name and would address you by it. Look out for greeting such as: Dear customer, Dear valued client, etc. Keep an eye out for spelling and grammar mistakes as a formal company wouldn't have these in an email. Before clicking any links, hover over to see the URL. If it says anything having to do with "redirect" or any other suspicious URL's DON'T CLICK IT. Avoid clicking any links in emails, a company will usually tell you to sign on to your account on your own, not through a link.
