What are phishing emails and how can I avoid them?

Using phishing, spammers intend to extract sensitive personal and financial data about the recipient by disguising themselves to be a legitimate organization or an individual. For example, a spammer looking for your financial details will send you an email asking for information such as passwords, user ids, bank account numbers, PIN numbers to list a few. ​Note that Zoho Mail will never ask you such information via email.
  1. Zoho Mail will display a warning message when an email looks suspicious. Be cautious of your interactions with such emails. 
  2. Configure SPF and DKIM for your domain or request your admin.
  3. Configure DMARC for your domain or request your admin.
  4. Use the Report Phishing feature to avoid such emails in the future.
  5. Contact our support with the Header for further assistance.
