The Safe Route Rule

Don't use a suspicious message to check whether the suspicious message is real.

You receive: “There is suspicious activity on your bank account. Click here.”

Do not click the link to investigate. Instead:

1. Close the message.
2. Open the company's genuine app yourself — or open your web browser and go to the company's website yourself.
3. Check your account there.

A link is text or a button you can tap that takes you to a website. A web browser is the app you use to visit websites, such as Chrome, Safari or Edge.
