🎣 **How phishing scams trick millions of people every year**
Phishing doesn't rely on hacking your computer—it relies on fooling you.
Here's how the scam usually works:
📩 **Step 1:** You receive an email or text that looks like it's from your bank, Amazon, PayPal, Microsoft, or another company you trust.
🔗 **Step 2:** It creates a sense of urgency:
*"Your account has been locked."*
*"Suspicious activity detected."*
*"Verify your payment information."*
👤 **Step 3:** You click the link and unknowingly enter your username and password on a fake website.
💳 **Step 4:** Within minutes, scammers can access your accounts, steal personal information, or even make fraudulent purchases.
🛡️ Stay protected:
✅ Check the sender's email address carefully.
✅ Never click unexpected links.
✅ Type the website address yourself instead of using the link.
✅ Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).
**Remember:** If a message pressures you to act immediately, stop and verify it first.
