Why check a suspicious message?

Scam messages are designed to make you act before you can pause and verify. Looking for warning signs can help you choose a safer next step.

Common ways scam messages create risk

Pressure and urgency

A deadline or threat can push you to click, pay, or share information before you have time to check independently.

Impersonation

A familiar name, logo, or job title does not prove who sent the message. Use contact details you find yourself.

Requests for money or access

Gift cards, cryptocurrency, passwords, codes, and remote access can be difficult or impossible to recover once shared.
