Poor Grammar and Spelling

Many phishing emails contain misspelled words and poor sentence structure. If you easily detected grammar-related errors in a message, it may be a phish. In the email example to below:

• No individual word is misspelled, but the message is full of grammatical errors that a native speaker
  wouldn’t make, e.g., “We detected something unusual to use an application,” and a string of missed words, such as “a malicious user might trying to access.”

Look for obvious errors! This is not to say an email with a mistake is a scam. Everyone makes typos from time to time.
