How to recognize mobile phishing attempts
PURPOSE
Phishing attempts on phones often arrive through text messages, messaging apps, social media, or email.
WARNING SIGNS
Unexpected links, urgent requests, fake delivery notices, prize scams, password requests, and messages asking for codes or payment.
DO NOT CLICK
Avoid tapping suspicious links or downloading unexpected attachments.
VERIFY
Go directly to the known website or contact method instead of using the message link.
REPORT
Report suspicious messages instead of forwarding them to coworkers like cursed chain letters.
