Cyber Safety Worksheet: Phishing
Stay safe (Spot the trick): Urgency: “act now”, “last chance”, “your account will be closed”. A prize or reward you never entered for; a strange link; many spelling mistakes. Real companies never ask for your password or OTP by message. Don’t click or reply — ask a trusted adult.
