Some of the most common elements in a phishing or email scam are:

You don’t know the sender
An authentic-looking website but the website URL starts with “http” instead of “https” (the “s” stands for secure) and does not display a tiny padlock icon in the address bar
Links or attachments you weren’t expecting
An exciting false promise (you have won!) or an upsetting false threat or sense of urgency (your account will be closed in 24 hours!)
A request for personal banking information, such as usernames, passwords, credit card numbers, or social insurance numbers
A generic message that is not personalized
Spelling and grammar errors
