What are the warning signs of a phishing email?

Phishing comes in many ways, including emails, SMS, social media, direct messages and phone calls.

Phishing attacks can look convincing but there are some red flags to alert you.

Phishing scams often:

• Ask for sensitive information like passwords or bank details
• Request payments from a usual supplier, but with new bank details
• Ask you to verify or update business or personal information
• Use threats or urgent warnings to make you act quickly
• Have an unusual website or email address.
