"The Simple Trick That Prevented Phishing Scams in My Inbox"

Ever open your inbox and see an email that looks super official, only to realize it’s a sneaky scam? I used to fall for phishing emails all the time, but then I learned a simple trick that saved me: checking the sender’s email address. Sounds easy, right? But seriously, scammers often try to mimic real businesses by using email addresses that are close to the legitimate one but just a little bit off. I started paying attention to those tiny details, and suddenly, phishing attempts were easy to spot. For example, a fake “Amazon” email might come from “[email protected]” instead of “[email protected].” It only takes a second, but it can save you from giving away personal info or clicking on dangerous links. Now, I can spot a scam from a mile away. If you’re not already checking the sender’s email address, start doing it—it’s a small habit that can make a big difference. And if you ever doubt an email’s legitimacy, don’t click anything—just Google the company’s support page and reach out directly. Simple, safe, and scam-free.
