🛡️ Life Skills & Safety

You receive an email that appears to be from your bank, asking you to click a link to verify your account details due to 'unusual activity.' What is the safest course of action?

A Click the link immediately to secure your account.
B Reply to the email asking for more information.
C Forward the email to your bank's fraud department and then delete it without clicking any links.
D Log in to your bank account through the link provided in the email.

✓ Correct Answer: Option C

This is a common phishing attempt. The safest action is to not click any links or provide information directly from the email. Instead, contact your bank through official channels (e.g., their official website by typing the URL, or calling their customer service number) to inquire about the message, and report the suspicious email.
