How to spot phishing emails and texts
Misspelling and grammar mistakes
Malicious emails and SMS often contain spelling errors, grammar mistakes, or typos. If you spot any, that is an instant red flag.
Impersonal greetings
Scammers tend to send out emails and SMS messages with a generic opening like โDear customerโ. Our communications are always personalized and we will address you by name.
Urgent language
This tactic is frequently used by scammers to induce a sense of fear and urgency to complete the actions requested.
Request for sensitive information
Scammers will go to great lengths to get sensitive data. At Payoneer, we will never request it via email or text, so avoid sharing sensitive details, like your card number or account password, at all times.
Suspicious links and attachments
In malicious emails and texts, scammers may include suspicious links and attachments. Always hover over links to verify the destination and donโt open unexpected attachments to avoid spyware or viruses.
