Scam email examples

This page collects real emails that were reported as phishing. Each one copies a known name, like a bank, a parcel service, a toll road or your own email provider, to get you to click, pay or share a password. For each example you can see what the email looks like, the subject lines and sender names used, the red flags, and what to do if it lands in your inbox. Private details are removed: addresses are masked, names are taken out, and links are shown as plain text that can't be clicked. We add new examples when a new wave is confirmed. If an email in your inbox looks like one of these, don't click anything. Delete it and check the real service on your own.
