That was a close call! Fortunately, this only turned out to be a phishing simulation from OutKept.
Act now and hurry? Check before you worry!
Consider these checks:
- Are you given very little time? Threatened by a short deadline?
- How credible is the email? Seek a second opinion.
- Did you expect this? When in doubt, ask the sender for more details.
- Does it contain personal information that is not easily obtainable? Or is it very vague?
- If an offer seems unbelievably advantageous, it’s often not to be trusted. Be skeptical of unexpected rewards, bonuses, or government assistance.
