Spot the phish

Six messages that land in real inboxes every week. Phish or legit? Only your pride is on the line.

Email
From: Microsoft 365 <[email protected]>
Your password expires today
Click below to keep your current password. If you do nothing, you will be locked out at 5:00 PM.
Microsoft does not email from look-alike domains, and "keep your current password" is a classic credential grab.
Email
From: Accounts Receivable <[email protected]>
Updated remittance details for invoice 4471
Please note our bank has changed. Kindly send this and all future payments to the new account attached. Thank you!
Look again: "supp1y" uses a number one. Any change to bank details gets a phone call to a number you already have.
Email
From: Sarah (Office Manager), your own company address
Staff meeting moved to 10:30
Conference room was double booked, so we pushed to 10:30. Same agenda. Bring donuts if you love us.
No link, no attachment, no urgency, no request for money or passwords. A normal message from a normal coworker.
Text message
From: "Your CEO" (unknown number)
Are you at your desk?
In a meeting and can't talk. Need you to pick up 5 gift cards for a client thank you. Send me the codes. I'll reimburse you today.
New number, can't talk, gift cards, secrecy. Nobody legitimate pays anyone in gift card codes.
Text message
From: +1 (843) 555-0142
Delivery attempt failed
USPS: your package is on hold due to an incomplete address. Update within 12 hours: usps-redelivery-help.info
The real Postal Service lives at usps.com. Unexpected delivery texts with odd links are the most common scam text in America.
Email
From: Your bank, the exact address on your statements
Your monthly statement is ready
Your October statement is available. For your security, sign in through our app or by typing our web address yourself. We will never ask for your password by email.
Expected, routine, and it tells you to go to the site yourself instead of clicking. Still the safest habit: type the address.

Your result: pending

Cheat sheet

Eight red flags to tape to your monitor

Any one of these is a reason to slow down. Two or more is a reason to call us.

UrgencyDeadlines in minutes or hours are designed to stop you thinking.
Look-alike namesA zero for an "o", a one for an "l", an extra word in the domain.
Payment changesNew bank details by email are guilty until proven innocent by phone.
Password requestsNobody legitimate needs you to confirm your password from an email.
Gift cardsNot your boss, not the IRS, not tech support. Never gift cards.
Mystery linksHover first. If the address does not match the sender, do not click.
Surprise attachmentsAn invoice you were not expecting is a reason to ask, not to open.
Secrecy"Don't tell anyone" and "I can't talk right now" are scammer signatures.
