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.
