Check the sender and links
Look past the display name to the actual address, and hover links to see the real destination. Look-alike domains are the giveaway.
Watch the tone
Urgency, threats of account suspension, and "verify now" buttons are engineered to make you click without thinking.
The safe move
Never log in or "verify" through an email link. Go to the site directly via a bookmark. No exchange will ask for your seed phrase by email — ever.
