Protecting Against Phishing

Phishing is a common tactic where attackers try to trick you into giving away sensitive information like passwords or financial details.

Here’s how to protect yourself when using OnePoundEmail:

• Be cautious with emails asking for personal info.
  • Legitimate services will never ask for passwords or payment details via email.
• Check the sender’s email address carefully.
  • Phishing emails often use addresses that look similar but aren’t exactly correct.
• Look for spelling and grammar mistakes. These can be signs of a phishing attempt.
• Avoid clicking links or downloading attachments from unknown senders.
• Use strong, unique passwords and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) if possible.
• Keep your software and devices updated to protect against security vulnerabilities.
• Report suspicious emails to our support team so we can help protect other users.

Stay alert and always verify before you trust an email.
