How to Recognize a Phishing Link

Learn the common warning signs of phishing links, shortened URLs and fake login pages, and what to do before opening a suspicious link.

What to know

Phishing often relies on urgency, impersonation and links that lead somewhere different from what the message suggests. Check the destination before opening it, especially when the message was unexpected.

Practical steps

If a message asks you to verify an account, claim a prize, avoid a penalty or make an urgent payment, pause and verify the request through an official channel. Hifazat’s Link Checker can provide an additional threat check before you visit a suspicious URL.

Safety reminder: Never share passwords, OTPs or payment credentials with an unexpected person. Verify important requests through a trusted, independent channel.
