Most phishing emails are built from the same few parts. Here is a made-up example with the seven giveaways numbered. The sender, company and links are invented; none of them belong to a real business.
A made-up example. ScoreBoost Pro and every address shown are invented. Real phishing emails change their wording all the time, so learn the pattern rather than the exact words.
| Warning sign | What the scammer is doing | What a genuine sender does |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Look-alike sender | Puts a trusted-sounding name in front of a free-mail or misspelt domain | Writes from its own domain. Tap the name to see the full address |
| 2. Panic deadline | “Blocked in 24 hours”, “last warning”, so you act before checking | Gives you time and a way to check independently |
| 3. Spelling and grammar | Rushed, mass-produced text | Is usually proofread, though a clean email isn’t proof on its own |
| 4. Guaranteed boost | Sells something that can’t be sold | No lender or bureau charges to raise a score |
| 5. Hidden link | The button text and the real address don’t match | Links go to its own website; you can also type the address yourself |
| 6. OTP, PIN or fee | Needs the code to move your money, or the fee to pocket | Never asks for OTP, PIN, CVV or password |
| 7. Surprise attachment | Hides malware in a .zip, .apk or “invoice” | Rarely sends files you didn’t request |
Look out for bank emails too. Indian banks have moved their websites to addresses ending in .bank.in, so a “bank” link that ends in anything else deserves a second look. That rule is about banks only; for any other company, type its address yourself instead of trusting the link.
Tap or hover over the name. A free-mail account or an odd domain claiming to be a bank, lender or bureau is a red flag.
On a computer, rest the pointer on the button to see the real link. On a phone, press and hold. If it doesn’t match the company, close the email.
Open the company’s website or app yourself and log in there. If something really needs your attention, you will see it.
Mark it as phishing in your email app. If it also reached you by call, SMS or WhatsApp, report it under “Chakshu” on the Sanchar Saathi portal (sancharsaathi.gov.in).
For the full first-hour plan, see what to do after clicking a phishing link or sharing an OTP.

It is an email that pretends to come from someone you trust, such as a bank, lender or credit bureau, to trick you into sharing codes, passwords or money, or into installing harmful software.
Opening it is usually low risk. The danger comes from clicking its links, opening its attachments, replying with details or paying what it asks.
No. Genuine banks, lenders and credit bureaus never ask for your OTP, PIN, CVV or password, by email or any other way.
No. Accurate negative entries can’t be removed for a fee, and errors are corrected free through a dispute. See why fee-based score repair doesn’t work.
Report fraud attempts on Sanchar Saathi under “Chakshu”, and if you lost money or shared an OTP, call 1930 or file at cybercrime.gov.in at once.
