How to recognize suspicious emails and links

  1. Check sender's email address
    Make sure that the sender's domain is official and not visually related to a fake domain.
  2. Pay attention to the urgency tone or threat
    Fraudal e-mails often use pressure, urgency or threats to achieve rapid action.
  3. Check the links before clicking
    Before opening, place the cursor above the link and make sure that the URL leads to a reliable and official site.
  4. Do not insert passwords by email links
    Never enter access data on pages opened from email link. Falsified or cloned leaves may look very similar to the real ones.
  5. In case of suspicion, contact IT support
    If an email or link seems suspicious, do not take any action and immediately inform IT support.
