As people grow more aware of the different ways of online scams, these attackers work to develop phishing attacks look more trustable that ever.
They know, with a mail that looks authentic enough to fool a user, they can get access right away to your network, device and data. AOL support number technicians bring you ways to avoid phishing attacks when using the digital media for browsing or online transactions.
Be careful with emails and other means of electronic communication
You may often receive emails that ask you to do some financial transactions. Be wary when you receive such emails from contacts you do not know, when the email came without you requesting any information from anywhere or wherever the communications seems suspicious. How will you detect phishing attempts? We won’t say, it is always easy.
But sometimes when you are in-the-know and lucky, you will find prominent tell-tale signs.
The common ones according to our technicians at AOL support number UK are those that you take one look at and it feels something is not quite alright – there may be spoofed links or sender addresses, poorly written emails with frequent grammar and/or spelling errors or messages that refer to sudden activities you know nothing about, example, some shipment arriving for you.
We highly recommend cross checking with the right source before believing such emails.
Be careful in checking the links given in such emails
If you find something suspicious or sudden, do not click on any link provided by such emails, instant messages or site notifications.
Before you decide to click, says team AOL email support, move your mouse cursor above such links to find out if they are actually what they claim to be. It is safer and better to key in such link addresses manually than directly clicking on them.
