In this phishing awareness training you learn to spot a fake email before it costs you anything. You practise on realistic messages: you decide first, then see the tells that gave each one away.

Phishing is the most reported kind of cybercrime: the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center received 193,407 complaints about phishing and spoofing in 2024, more than any other category. It works on careful people too, because it is built to catch you when you're busy.

Try it: press Show the first tell and go through all four.

In this lesson you'll:

• check who really sent an email, and read where a link really goes
• name the pressure tricks and the requests that should always make you stop
• sort an inbox of eight emails, then handle texts, calls and QR codes
• know exactly what to do in the minutes after a click

It takes about 50 minutes, with a quiz in the middle and one at the end.

Takeaway: one tell is enough reason to stop and check.
