Top Red Flags
The email asks for money, fees, login details, or sensitive data before you can verify the claim calmly.
It uses urgency, fear, reward, or authority to push you toward a reply, payment, download, or phone call.
The sender or story feels almost believable, but the details do not fully match the real company, agency, or situation.
