<human>:  How can I recognise phishing emails and avoid being scammed?
<bot>: The best way to recognise and avoid phishing emails is to be aware of how scammers try to trick people into providing sensitive information. Be wary of emails that ask you to provide personal information, like your passwords, social security numbers, etc. They will often use urgent language, such as “act now” or “time sensitive” in order to create a sense of urgency. Be sure to look carefully at the email address and the link, as they are often the giveaways that an email is a scam. Finally, trust your gut. If it seems suspicious, it's better to delete it or contact the sender to verify legitimacy.
