The classic red flags
- Mismatched links: the visible text says
paypal.combut the real destination is somewhere else. Always the biggest tell. - Look-alike domains:
paypa1-secure.xyz, extra subdomains, or raw IP addresses instead of a real brand domain. - Urgency & fear: "your account will be suspended," "unusual sign-in," "verify within 24 hours."
- Credential or payment bait: links to fake login pages, or requests to update payment or wire money.
- Failed authentication: the message fails SPF, DKIM or DMARC checks — a strong sign the sender is spoofed.
- Attachments & downloads: unexpected executables or "invoices" that are really malware.
