That missed delivery text is probably not real
You have probably had one: a text about a missed parcel, a small fee to redeliver, and a link.
The fee is not the point. The page it opens collects your card details, and sometimes gets you to approve a much larger payment.
75 words, about 25 seconds. Newsletters, notice boards, and short member updates.

A job should never cost you money
Fake job offers are aimed at people who need work quickly. Here is what they look like.
The rule that catches nearly all of them: a real employer never asks you to pay to start. Not for equipment, training, a background check, or a starter kit.
146 words, about 45 seconds. Job club emails, career-center newsletters, and campus mailings.
Subject
A quick reminder about messages that ask you to hurry
Most scams work the same way. A message says something is wrong and wants you to act right now: click this, call this number, send a payment, read back a code.
The pressure is the tell. A real bank or delivery company is fine with you hanging up and calling back on a number you already have.
98 words, about 30 seconds. Monthly or quarterly newsletters, member emails, and bulletins.
Subject
Before you change any payment details, please read this
A fraud aimed at organizations like ours: an email that looks like a supplier, a colleague, or someone senior says bank details have changed, or asks for a payment to go out quickly and quietly.
The details are usually right, because the sender has read real emails. The urgency is the fake part.
130 words, about 40 seconds. Staff email, volunteer briefings, and finance team onboarding.

If someone calls asking for a code, hang up
A phone scam going around right now catches careful people. Here is how it works.
Someone rings, calm and official. They say they are from your bank or the government, and they often know your name and address already. There is a problem, they say, and a code is about to arrive by text. Could you read it back?
139 words, about 40 seconds. Senior center newsletters, caregiver emails, and printed bulletins.

If you click something you should not have, just tell us
Work email is a target, and the messages are better than they used to be. They copy real branding, reference real projects, and arrive when you are busy.
Worth pausing on: a login page that appears after a link, a request to change bank details, an urgent message from someone senior who is hard to reach, an attachment you did not expect.
122 words, about 35 seconds. All-staff email, volunteer onboarding, and induction packs.
