Urgent or Threatening Language

Scammers often say your account will be locked or you're in legal trouble — don't panic, verify first.

Unknown or Spoofed Sender

Be cautious if the email or number looks unfamiliar or mimics a known brand (like Amaz0n instead of Amazon).

Suspicious Links or Attachments

Never click on strange links or download unexpected files — they could steal your data or install malware.

Requests for Personal or Financial Info

Legitimate companies never ask for your password, OTP, or credit card info via email or SMS.

Too Good to Be True Offers

You’ve won a prize!” or “Get rich quick” schemes are classic bait — trust your instincts and don’t engage.
