How to Identify Phishing Emails

Phishing is the name given to fraudulent email messages from cybercriminals that trick you into divulging your personal info. These messages have links to fake websites that prompt you for your username, password, bank account, etc. DO NOT respond to these emails!

Tips to identify a phishing email:

• Hover your mouse over the From field to verify the sender's email address.
  • For example TOAST.net would send from an @toast.net mailbox such as support@toast.net. 
• Hover your mouse over weblinks to see where it leads. Be cautious if the link does not match the sender's domain or looks suspicious.
• Check for urgent or suspicious prompts. Phishing emails often create a sense of urgency or fear to prompt immediate action.
• Look for typing errors, poor grammar, and generic greetings like "Dear Customer" 
• Watch for spoofed signatures and branding as they will try to impersonate well known brand names. 

1. Login to your mailbox
2. Click on Settings --> Account Settings--> User. You'll see the fields to update your password. 
3. If you encounter any issues, please contact TOAST.net Support.
