Recognising phishing
Phishing is the most common way scammers get into your accounts, your money, or your work systems. One wrong click is enough.
In this course you will learn the one skill that matters most: calmly inspecting the real sender and the real link before you do anything. You will practise with realistic examples from email, SMS, and chat, and you will learn what to do if you did click.
This course gives practical tools to recognise phishing and respond to it. The examples are fabricated for educational purposes; brand names and domains are used for illustration only. This is not a watertight guarantee against every kind of scam; when in doubt, always verify through a known channel.
