Phishing scams occur when cyber criminals try to extract information, login credentials and even money from you by impersonating real people and organizations through email, phone calls, text messages, and social media. These may seem silly and obvious, but the fact is, they work. Over 93% of all malicious data breaches in an organization come from scams that target people. To support you, we would like to share some simple tips/advice to help you identify a phishing email. 

Review the email's signature:

• A sign of a phishing attempt is a lack of information included in the supposed sender’s email signature. A legitimate representative of an organization will always provide contact information in their signature. 
• Information will usually include their full name, official title within the organization, their return email address, and even their phone number and direct extension.
