Usually, the first thing that comes to mind when we think of phishing is an email that asks you to click on a link. Even though this is still a common way that scammers carry out phishing attacks, they are also getting more creative.

They typically do this by sending you an email pretending to be from your mail provider, bank, or supervisor. They may claim that there was a paperwork error, and you need to update your information "right away." Another common scam is when you get an email pretending to be from your email provider that claims that your mailbox storage is full or almost full. It will ask you to fill out a form to confirm your account, or to request more space.
