Check whether this email is a scam
A message that looks official and is asking you to do something.
Assess whether the email below is genuine. Check: whether the sending domain matches the brand it claims, where the links actually point versus their visible text, whether it creates urgency or threatens loss, whether it asks for something a real company would not ask by email, and whether it addresses me in a way a company holding my account would. Return a verdict, the evidence for it, and your confidence. Where the text alone cannot settle it, say what to check instead — headers, the company's real site, a number from my card rather than from the email. Never tell me it is safe to click something in order to find out. Email:
Making it yours
- Paste your own material where the prompt asks for it. Everything above that line is instruction, not content.
- Delete any rule that does not apply to you. A shorter prompt that fits beats a thorough one that does not.
- If the answer comes back vague, add a line saying what you do not want. Constraints work better than encouragement.
Triage and actions. Turning a backlog into the few things that genuinely need you, with everything else named and dismissed.
