Almost got phished by a fake "security alert" email that looked exactly like my bank's login page
Ngl I almost fell for it yesterday. I got an email saying my account was locked and the link went to a page that looked spot on. I was on my phone so I didn't notice the URL was off by one letter. I caught it when I clicked the contact us link and it was dead. Has anyone else had close calls with these fake banking alerts lately? What do you look for to spot them fast?

Dude I literally had the same thing happen to me last week! It was from "Chase" and the page even had the little padlock icon and everything. I only caught it cause I tried to log in with a fake password first and it went through, which is when I knew something was off.

Wait, how did they even get the padlock icon on a fake page?
