Phishing
A message that impersonates a trusted body (bank, tax office, boss) to trap you and steal your passwords or your money.
Phishing consists of pretending to be someone trustworthy in order to push you to click, hand over your credentials or pay. It happens mostly by email, but also by text message or phone. The right reflex: when in doubt, do not click and check for yourself via the official site or number.
