Phishing Email Spotter: Score the Red Flags Before You Click
Phishing emails are the front door of most fraud: a single click can install malware, harvest a login, or start a fake-invoice conversation that ends in a wire transfer. The good news is that phishing follows scripts, and those scripts leave fingerprints — a sender address that does not match the display name, manufactured urgency, requests for passwords or gift cards, unexpected links, and wording that feels slightly off. This spotter scores an email you are unsure about against five of those fingerprints and gives you a 0-100 likelihood read with a plain-language verdict. Treat it as a second opinion, not a guarantee: when real money or accounts are involved, the safe move is always to verify through a channel you know is genuine.

❓ Phishing Email Spotter — FAQ
What is the strongest phishing red flag?
A request for something irreversible — passwords, verification codes, gift card numbers or wire payments — especially when wrapped in urgency. Legitimate organisations do not ask you to confirm your password by email or settle an unexpected bill with gift cards.
Should I click unsubscribe on a phishing email?
No. Clicking unsubscribe (or replying) confirms your address is live and often loads tracking pixels or malware links. The safer move is to delete the message, or report it through your email provider's reporting button first.
Can phishing emails look completely legitimate?
Yes — display names are easy to fake, and logos and layouts are copied straight from real brands. That is why the checks that matter are the sender's full address, the destination of links when you hover (without clicking), and what the message actually asks you to do.
