How Do I Report a Phishing Attempt?

If you encounter a phishing attempt, reporting it helps protect yourself and others. Here’s how to report a phishing attempt:

1. Report to Your Email Provider:

   • Most email providers have a built-in feature to report phishing. Use the “Report Phishing” or “Spam” option in your email interface.

2. Contact the Organization Directly:

   • If the phishing attempt pretends to be from a specific company or service (like WEMX), contact that organization directly using their official contact information to report the attempt.

3. Notify the Website Host:

   • If you received a phishing email with a link to a fraudulent website, you can report the site to the hosting provider. Use tools like WHOIS to find the host and file a complaint.

4. Use Anti-Phishing Tools:

   • Some security tools and browser extensions can report phishing sites directly to their developers.

5. Report to Social Media Platforms:

   • If the phishing attempt occurred via social media, report the account or content to the respective platform using their reporting features.
