How to Spot and Avoid Phishing Scams

Phishing scams are everywhere these days, and they’re designed to trick you into giving up personal info like passwords or credit card numbers. The good news is, with a few simple steps, you can protect yourself.
- Double-check the website:
Scammers often create fake websites that look just like the real ones. Before you enter any info, make sure the URL starts with "https" and that it's the correct site.
- Be cautious of unexpected messages:
If you get an email or message asking for your personal details, be suspicious. Real companies won’t ask for sensitive info like that through email or text.
- Look out for warning signs:
Messages that sound urgent or have poor grammar can be a red flag. Scammers often use scare tactics, like saying your account will be closed, to make you act quickly without thinking.
- Use Two-Factor Authentication (2FA):
Adding an extra layer of security to your accounts with 2FA helps protect you even if your password is stolen. It’s an easy way to keep hackers out.
Stay alert and take a moment to double-check things before you click. It’s better to be safe than sorry!
