Spot the Phishing Email

Look at a sample email and decide what's suspicious about it.

Scenario

You receive an email that reads: "Subject: URGENT: Your account will be suspended. From: [email protected]. Dear Customer, we noticed unusual activity. Click here within 24 hours to verify your identity or your account will be permanently closed."

What would you do?This looks legitimate — I should click the link right away to avoid losing my account.This is suspicious — the sender domain is a lookalike, and the urgency is designed to rush me into clicking.I should reply to the email asking if it's real.
