Check the sender
Inspect the full email address and domain; look for subtle misspellings.
Inspect links and attachments
Hover to preview URLs, avoid unexpected attachments, and never enable macros.
Be wary of urgency
Threats, time pressure, and unusual requests are common phishing signals.
Verify out of band
Confirm requests via known numbers or official portals, not via the email itself.
