That email from your "bank" feels off, but you're not sure what to look for. AI assistants have been trained on countless phishing attempts and can spot red flags in seconds—urgency tactics, suspicious domains, mismatched links, and formatting tells that scammers hope you'll miss.
THE ANALYSIS PROMPT
Copy the suspicious email and ask: "Can you analyze this for signs of phishing, scams, or red flags?" For deeper analysis, include the email headers—they reveal where the message actually came from, not just what the "From" field claims.
The power move: Learn to pull email headers (Outlook: File → Properties; Gmail: three dots → Show original) and include them with your request. Headers are where scammers slip up—the visible sender might say "support@yourbank.com" but the routing data tells a different story.
