Spot The Fake Before It Costs You

Phishing emails impersonate banks, delivery services, the IRS, and even people you know. The good ones are very convincing — but they always leave clues.

The Phishing Email Detection Cheat Sheet gives you the signs to scan for in seconds, the checks that expose a fake, and exactly what to do if you already clicked. Keep it beside your inbox and you can screen any suspicious message in under a minute.

Perfect for anyone who wants a simple, repeatable way to tell a real email from a convincing forgery.

What's Included

✔ Check The Sender

Hover over the sender — the real address often doesn't match the name shown
Look for misspelled domains like "amaz0n.com" or "paypaI.com" using a capital i for the L
Watch for a reply-to address that differs from the from-address, a major red flag

✔ Scan The Message

Urgent threats such as "Your account will be closed in 24 hours"
Generic greetings like "Dear customer" instead of your name
Spelling or grammar mistakes in supposedly official email
Unexpected attachments you should never open

✔ Don't Click

Hover over links to see the real URL before clicking
Don't tap on mobile if you can't see the URL preview — open on desktop first
When unsure, type the company's URL yourself in a new tab

✔ If You Clicked

Don't enter anything on the page — close it
If you entered credentials, change that password immediately from a trusted device
Run a scan if you downloaded anything, and report the email to your provider or IT

✔ Bonus Pro Tip

Learn why the entire game of phishing depends on you using their link — and how opening a new tab or calling a number you already know makes the scam fail every time.
