Phishing: how to spot a scam before sharing your details or approving a transfer

You receive a message saying your account will be blocked unless you confirm your details. The logo looks right, and the button opens a familiar-looking login form.

Find out how to recognise phishing, verify these requests safely and respond if you have already shared your information.
