  • Before & After: Spotting Phishing in Seconds

    Here’s how the skills pay off — real example from the course.

    Example bank email without annotations, used to teach phishing checks.

    Before — Looks Legit?

    I’ll walk you through a quick routine: confirm the sender, spot pressure words scammers use, and preview links safely.
    We'll look at a real example from everyday email and review when to delete, when to report spam, and when to go directly to the site/app.

    Same email annotated with three red flags: sender domain mismatch, urgent or threatening language, and a mismatched link shown on hover.

    After — What Changed:

    ① Sender name vs. domain ② Spelling/grammar

    ③ Urgency words ④ Hover to preview link

    ⑤ Wrong entity name ⑥ Fear/pressure tactic

    These are the same checks you’ll learn to run consistently in the course.

    We'll look at a real example from everyday email and review when to delete, when to report spam, and when to go directly to the site/app.

    Same email annotated with six red flags: sender domain mismatch, urgent or threatening language, and a mismatched link shown on hover.

    After — You'll spot:

    Who it’s from

    How it’s written

    Urgency and pressure language

    Link or entity mismatches

    These are the same checks you’ll learn to run consistently in the course.
